On Windows, the session save path is usually wrong by default. Check
php.ini and
confirm it is set to a path that:
- exists
- is writable to the web server
Christopher replied: The path is set to www/tmp, it exists, and it is writable. The problem is still there. Any other ideas? This error makes the wiki about as useful as a text file stored on our file server.

We are getting the same message for some users (me! -- I'm the research administrator of the project, someone else is the wiki administrator). But if I just ignore the error I can edit and save as I'm used to doing. I still don't like having the error message, it's a signal that something's going wrong.

Yes but there goes keeping track of who is editing pages, signing comments, etc. Also you lose some privileges depending on your setup. For instance if I can't log in I can't move or delete a page.
