We have just setup a company wiki.
The Versions page reports:
* MediaWiki: 1.7.1 * PHP: 5.1.2 (apache2handler) * MySQL: 5.0.22-community-nt
We're having a problem which a google/google groups/mediawiki help search did not resolve.
When a user is logged in they are unable to perform any actions. And when editing a page one gets this error after clicking "Save Page":
"Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in."
As a result everyone is anonymously editing pages, which is a big problem. I've attempted logging out/in. Using Firefox & IE. Clearing the brower's cache/cookies/passwords. And also making sure that 'Show preview on first edit' is not checked under Preferences.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

On Windows, the session save path is usually wrong by default. Check php.ini and confirm it is set to a path that: 1) exists 2) is writable to the web server

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.
Regards,
Also, the email confirmation of new user's doesn't work. When a user first signs up he gets an email to confirm his address, if you click on it the wiki throws up an error page saying that the confirmation has expired. If you then go to your user preferences and try to mail another confirmation code you never receive a new confirmation email.
Maybe this has something to do with the loss of session data, perhaps there is a fundamental problem with our wiki?
Thanks,
