/var/lib/php/session filling up with lots of sessions

  • This plugin is working good except for the fact that keeps on filling the /var/lib/php/session directory on my vps. Garbage collector seems to work properly but cannot handle so much sessions created in short time.

    All of the session files contains stuff like this: kpg_stop_spammers_time|i:1369826012;

    So the question is would it be possible to disable the creation of all of those sessions or they are necessary for the plugin to work?

    Or is there any other workaround for this issue?

  • I have had many complaints about using sessions, but mostly because some PHP sites don’t support them.

    I have switched in version 5 to using cookies and I am now testing the new version. You can get the beta test at https://www.blogseye.com and see if it helps.

    The session speed trap was the single most effective way of detecting spam robots because they would read a page and post the comment much faster than humanly possible. I hope that using cookies works as well, otherwise I will have to make a settings option to use session or cookie.
