This has sparked a general question for me that I haven't seen elsewhere
(not that it isn't, in fact, elsewhere). If I want to run MediaWiki in a
farm environment (insert favorite load balancing technology), do I have to
setup the session_save_path to point to a filesystem location shared by all
web servers? AKA an NFS export mounted in the same place on all apache
boxes.
If this is true, are there other requirements of a load balanced/farmed
environment?
Thanks,
Jeff

I'm seeing this on the Wikiwyg server, too. At first, I thought it was a
misconfiguration thing, but maybe not.
What PHP versions are being used? What does session_save_path() return
before changing it? (call it without any arguments)

On my local box (Ubuntu) this works fine.
On the linux host I'm using once you log in (as a normal user,
WikiSysop, any user type) and edit something (any page) and hit save
it acts as though you hit the preview. If you're logged out you can edit
and
save normally.
Any ideas?
Could this be related to this quirk? In a previous email I asked about
users auto logging out. I added this:
session_save_path("/public_html/sandBoxWiki/sessions");
to my LocalSettings.php. Now users only stay logged in if you check
"Remember my password across sessions"
