Here is my problem, quite simply: A user clicks "log out" but is not logged out.

An error message does not appear in the log. In fact, the log says "Session closed for [user]" - but they are not logged out.

Does this have to do with PHP sessions? Or, is a certain directory not writable? I don't even know where to begin.

I recently upgraded from 4.5.4 to 4.5.5 - but the upgrade process went smoothly. The problem only began occurring after the upgrade, though.

Where should I look? Any help would be appreciated.

My stats:

Drupal 4.5.5
Debian Linux
Apache 1.3.31
PHP 4.3.10
MySQL 4.1.11

Thanks for any assistance.

Maybe an issue with some cache? Try disabling the Drupal cache (settings). Try to SHIFT-Reload in the browser, maybe that cached something and it only _looks_ like you didn't get logged out?

I've resolved the problem replacing sid = '%d' in sess_destroy() function (module "includes/session.inc") with sid = '%s'.

I think there is an error in the module update.

OK, this seems to be correct, as the latest CVS version does exactly that: db_query("DELETE FROM {sessions} WHERE sid = '%s'", $key);.
