My server was working fine (no one else changes it but me, it's a
local server on my lan), and all of a sudden I get:

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module:
user...

It didn't even happen after like a reboot or something, it just
happened one morning.

I fixed it by changing:

session.save_handler = user

to

session.save_handler = files

But my question is- why did I have to do that? What could've
happened? How do I make it work with "user" again?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but AFAIK, 'user' is not a deault handler.
If there are problems saving sessions with the 'user' session handler,
you'd have to check that logic. In many custom handlers it's done in
combination with a database, so you might check wether that database is
reachable, not at it's limits (either by primary/unique index or size
enforced by hoster).

It's not saving to a database, it's creating a session file.

And as stated in my question there is no "hoster", it's my lan server,
and I'm the only one that touches it.
