If your on IIS, you need to set the session.save_path option in php.ini file. Then make sure that IIS can actually write to the directory.
"Jeff McKeon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pulling my hair out here. I've got an IIS5 webserver running a php website just fine. I created another web for a dev version of the first website. Installed PHP ect... When I load up the old websites files on the new site sessions won't work on the new site. For some reason on the new site's phpinfo.php page, there is no HTTP_COOKIE variable set under the "environmental" section. Also, under the PHP Variables section, there is no _REQUEST["PHPSESSID"] or _COOKIE["PHPSESSID"] variable. What have I missed!??? Here is a section of the phpinfo() for both sites.
