This issue has nothing to do with the session info storage. That’s the problem of the concurrent execution handling, I think.

Problem is that when storing session in DB and there are paralel ajax requests and they store values in session, only last requests session changes are stored

@Derek
Though I’m not using the load-balancing, I realize this is a possible issue. Maybe this can be handled with MySQL clustering. I’m not sure since I’ve never used load-balancing in my work…

Nice post, thanks.

@Kostik: You might need the session across multiple servers if you do load-balancing… else user will have unexpected results.

What about using RAMDRIVE?
something like “mdmfs -p 777 -s 1024m md1 /usr/local/www/sessions”
the only reason i see for storing sessions in DB is if u want to share sessions across multiple web boxes.
