PHP's session storage is broken. Probably one of the following is true:
1) You are running on a Windows server, and php.ini has the default setting of
"/tmp" for the session storage path, a directory which does not usually exist
on
Windows.
2) You are running on SourceForge.net's server farm or a similar setup where
php.ini has the default setting of "/tmp" fo rthe session storage path, a
local
directory which is different for each server that a user hits.
Interestingly, I just had a similar problem. My long-running wiki
suddenly stopped letting me save changes as a logged in user.
This was on a debian (actually Ubuntu) system. After a little bit of
poking around, I determined that the php session save path was
/var/lib/php4 and that this directory didn't seem to exist. I looked
at my backups and found out that it disappeard during the week when I
had upgraded the server from Ubuntu 5.04 to 5.10.
I recreated the directory and everything started working again.
