    Hi @vacancy I've been trying to replicate this on a test server: Started with: [root@centos7 sessions]# cat /usr/local/cpanel/version 11.68.0.38 1. I installed all available versions of PHP 2. I ensured the session save path was to default set for them all: [root@centos7 sessions]# grep "session.save_path =" /opt/cpanel/ea-php*/root/etc/php.ini /opt/cpanel/ea-php54/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php54" /opt/cpanel/ea-php55/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php55" /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56" /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php70" /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php71" /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php72"
    3. I ran an update from v68.0.38 -> 70.0.41 => Log opened from cPanel Update (upcp) - Slave (31395) at Wed May 16 14:27:32 2018 [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] 95% complete [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] Running Standardized hooks [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] 100% complete [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] cPanel update completed [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] A log of this update is available at /var/cpanel/updatelogs/update.1526497466.log [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] Removing upcp pidfile [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] [2018-05-16 14:27:32 -0500] Completed all updates => Log closed Wed May 16 14:27:32 2018
    4. Then checked for "null" in session save path: [root@centos7 sessions]# grep "session.save_path =" /opt/cpanel/ea-php*/root/etc/php.ini /opt/cpanel/ea-php54/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php54" /opt/cpanel/ea-php55/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php55" /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56" /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php70" /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php71" /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php72"
    As you can see I couldn't replicate it. Could you tell me more about your configuration so I can try and replicate that? Is PHP-FPM enabled? What PHP Handler is being used, etc. Thanks!

    Hello there The problem I'm talking about is for a clean cPanel installation. (version 70.0.41) php-fpm not active.

    Hi @vacancy Interestingly enough, I'm still not able to replicate this behavior: 2018-05-17 10:06:26 1184 ( INFO): Congratulations! Your installation of cPanel & WHM 11.70 is now complete.

    Will you be installing on any other servers? All I can think of is there was an issue that was resolved between when you opened the ticket and when I installed. It's possible that the .41 version was the issue as well as I just noticed I installed 70.0.42: [root@host-172-16-0-118 home]# cat /usr/local/cpanel/version 11.70.0.42
    Thanks!

    HI @vacancy Thanks for the clarification, I was able to replicate the issue once I installed ea-php54, ea-php71, ea-php72: [root@host-172-16-0-118 home]# grep "session.save_path =" /opt/cpanel/ea-php*/root/etc/php.ini /opt/cpanel/ea-php54/root/etc/php.ini:; session.save_path = "N;/path" /opt/cpanel/ea-php54/root/etc/php.ini:; session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path" /opt/cpanel/ea-php54/root/etc/php.ini:;session.save_path = "/tmp" /opt/cpanel/ea-php55/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php55" /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56" /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.ini:session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php70" /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.ini:; session.save_path = "N;/path" /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.ini:; session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path" /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.ini:;session.save_path = "/tmp" /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/etc/php.ini:; session.save_path = "N;/path" /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/etc/php.ini:; session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path" /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/etc/php.ini:;session.save_path = "/tmp"
    I opened an internal case as a result of this EA-7479 php session.save_path set to null when installing additional PHP versions on fresh install I'll update here when I have any further information on this. Thanks!

    Hi @vacancy You're correct, it wasn't included in the fixes EasyApache included yesterday. It is being worked on, I checked the status yesterday and again today but there's no update on it besides the fact that it's in progress currently. I will let you know as soon as I have an update on the status. Thanks!
