I have patched my php 5.2.5 source files with the exec_dir patch. The problem is that it prevents session variables from being set. If I recompile from an unpatched source the problem goes away. I have emailed the author of the exec_dir patch and he says the problem I am experiencing can’t be related to his patch, which based on what is does, I would agree, but I have recompiled at least a dozen times now with as many different options as I can think of, and it’s always the same – works when the patch hasn’t been applied and doesn’t work when it has. I do have the suhosin patch, but I have tried his patch with and without suhosin and it makes no difference.
This is my php config
–with-apxs2
–with-mysql
–with-zlib
–with-gd
–with-gettext
–with-iconv
–enable-mbstring
–with-xmlrpc
–enable-cli
–with-pspell
–enable-gd-native-ttf
–with-freetype-dir
–with-jpeg-dir
–with-png-dir
These are the results of my make test, with and without the exec_dir patch applied.

Thanks for any thoughts on this, it’s driving me crazy.
