Still having issues with the login not sticking.
I've verified the php_value session.save_path specified in my .htaccess file is read/write/execute for the wiki, but the sessions data is still being lost between pages.
The login sticks if remembered on my the user's machine, but then the session data is lost when editing a page. The end result is a wiki user can stay logged in if they have it remember localy, but can't succesfully save edits while logged in.
Do I need to specify a file as well as a path for session data?
Just a path should be fine.
But, if you're on a hosting service be aware that you might not always be on the same server. You might be on a server farm where /tmp is a different local hard disk on each request.
So you might have to try a directory that's 'persistent', in a filesystem that's shared across servers. There might be a special place for this (like on SourceForge's servers now) or you might have to take over a locked directory in your own web space. Check with the documentation or support for your hosting service if you have to do something like that.
