Hi everyone, I'm new to MediaWiki and I have an installation question. I was unable to find the answer in the docs, so please bear with me. After selecting the language I'm getting the following message: Your session data was lost! Check your php.ini and make sure session.save_path is set to an appropriate directory. I have the following configuration: a Linux shared host, Mediawiki is in /home/myusername/wiki/w directory, it would be installed on a subdomain (say, wiki.example.org/w). In the subdomain's root I have a php.ini which contains, among other, the following:
[Session] session.save_handler = files session.save_path = "/home/myusername/wiki/tmp" session.use_cookies = 1 session.use_only_cookies = 0 session.name = WIKISESSID session.cookie_path = "/wiki"
In this tmp folder I see indeed some session files and I can confirm that these are from Mediawiki (I remove them, then I try to install Mediawiki, and they appear there). What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
