Good Morning MediaWiki Fans:
We have copied our wiki system to a new machine for a hardware upgrade. It appears to work pretty much OK except for one little glitch. A login appears to function, the appropriate headers change on the page indicating your user name, but then, at the next click on anything the system believes you are coming from a non-login state. It appears to have lost track of the login state. Is there any identifier in the system that would be dependent upon the host name ? While we are testing the copy the machine has a different host name than usual. I don't notice any host name dependencies in any configuration file.
Thanks for your assistance,

Check that php is able to save the session files. session.save_path must point to a writable directory. http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.save-path
