Description Brion Vibber 2004-08-19 22:52:25 UTC 
Sometimes PHP's session.save_handler is globally set to a weird value like 
'user' which fails miserably when we try to do start_session().

We should detect odd settings and either return a sensible error message or 
work around it by trying to set it correctly to 'files' when not using 
$wgSessionInMemCache.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2004-08-24 03:11:25 UTC 
Applied Ivan's patch to head. Needs to go in for 1.3.2 also.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2004-08-24 06:09:41 UTC 
Applied to REL1_3 branch.
