I got the same error a few times in the last week as well. Would like to know why its happening.

I found that there is a new config in /app/config/session.php

/*

• add 4.4 */ 'expire_on_close' => false,

I have 'expire_on_close' => false, set in /app/config/session.php and the error still occurs. Anyone know what's going on?

I'm having same problem, my guess it has to do something with Laravel code itself?

"SplFileInfo::getMTime(): stat failed" stands for not checking if file_exists before reading it's last edit time.

Maybe Laravel somehows skips that check and tries to read "old" session anyway?

I'm having same problem and I would love to hear some explanation. My error reporting system (via mailing) is reporting those errors for unlogged in users, in some totally irrational routes like /administrator/index.php, /wp-login.php (when I'm not even having that routes).

I'm still getting this error once or twice a week. Anyone have a solution?

It's still irritating me, occurs in my log file sometimes few times per day...

Yeah, this occurs often.

Someone with the time should notify Taylor about it. Or someone that cares.
