Hi Brion,
Several things to check:
* Are you or someone else on the server running Drupal or Squirrelmail
or another package that changes the session method settings?
I think SquirrelMail runs on the main server because it is a hosted one.
It is not ran on my account but the PHP installation must be global and
having problems with that.
Well as it seems it is not much I can do. I have an account on a hosted
site, I cannot alter apache nor php configuration. I can only tell the
guys who maintain it about it, and see what they can come up with. It is
exactly as described in the bug. Pretty random it happens every so other
time
* Is /tmp writable? Is it full? Has the session.path
been set to some
directory that doesn't exist?
Yep it is writable and empty. Thank you for your pointers Brion, I will
have to see what another Wiki does, and in the meantime discuss this
with my administrator. Unfortunately it happens way too often to be
funny and it is very annoying when you can't save your info.
Just another idea. There is a php nuke script running on there, with
messageboard and all. Could that be the bad guy? I read somewhere that
global settings for sessions should be reset but they are not. Whenever
someone is accessing the board, could it be that my session is screwed up ?
Regards,
- Jorgen
