[Mediawiki-l] Loss of Session Data

[Travian Wiki]

Did you try to edit the page multiple times?  Sometimes the edit will work on the first submit, but most of the time you have to hit submit over and over until you don't get a session error.

How do you find where the sessions are trying to be stored and where they should be stored?  Remember, this is a webhost so I probably won't be able to do much about server errors.  I tried installing MW on another webhost and ended up with the same problem, which makes me think it is a problem with MW v1.9.2

Thanks!
