I'm having the problem described here:
docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=..._you_to_login_screen

IE6 Cookies - That's not the problem.

UTF8 - That's not the problem.

PHP Sessions - Yes, I have a problem here.
~/htdocs/cgi-bin/tmp/ is the path for sessions, and always has been.
Permissions is set to 777
I have sessions there from this morning (before upgrade), but none are being added now.
I don't have access to php.ini, but nothing has changed from this morning except for doing the upgrade.

Any suggestions?

1. Please upload a phpinfo file so we can take a look at your server configuration. Just put the following code into a file named phpinfo.php and upload it to your webserver:(Delete the spaces next to </> when copying the code.)
After uploading please post the link to the file.

2. Please switch on debug mode by adding the following line to your config.php file:
Are there any additional errors reported on top of the page?

Thanks for the reply, Mazi.
Here is the output from phpinfo.

File extension changed from .html to .txt

The debug info shows this:

20101002T060829: tebbuttonline.com/survey/admin/admin.php
PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_0f1fe47283f300dac8323a18ca747488, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0

Is that a setting in Limesurvey, or is it an issue with the host?

I tried creating the folder "/var/php_sessions" with permission 777 in both the root and LS folders, but it made no difference.

Okay, I found a way to edit php.ini, so it's fixed now.
Sorry for wasting your time. Another donation on the way!

1. Which Limesurvey version do you run?

2. Please upload a phpinfo file so we can take a look at your server configuration. Just put the following code into a file named phpinfo.php and upload it to your webserver:

Hello and thank you for your answer

PHP INFO changes between 1- apache module (works fine)
and 2- (cgi) there is a problem

Which php info should I set ?
I'm using this version : 190plus-build9229-20101013

I'm not a server expert and it is no Limesurvey connectd problem I guess so you might want to ask that question at a server admin forum.
