Modifying of Apache::Session File

["Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd." <di...@vsnl.com>]

Hi,

We've got an application where on initial login we're creating the session
file.
Subsequently, we want to add more hash values into this session file.

Immediately after creation if we add values to the session file, these
values get stored.
After a few pages we tried to modify the existing session file, by
First, tie-ing the values to a session hash
Second, Modifying the session hash.

At the point of modifying the session, the program just hangs .... waits
indefintely.
Can anybody help us out with this problem.

You must have leaked some session objects, and now you are holding stale
locks.  It is a frequent problem.  If you are using a global for the
session object, don't do that.  Also don't make a circular reference to
the session object.
