Description Zbigniew Braniecki 2005-11-16 03:39:22 UTC 
When you have session.auto_start=true in php.ini and you login to MediaWiki it
assigns new name to session cookie, but PHP can't change the default one
(http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.session-name.php#42747).
Despite of that, when later MediaWiki asks for session cookie name by
session_name() method, it returns the new (not the assigned) one.

It's also a PHP bug imho (it should return the really used name).
Comment 1 Zbigniew Braniecki 2005-11-16 03:40:08 UTC 
Created attachment 1073 [details]
patch against 1.5.2

this patch adds a if() statement to check if MediaWiki can change the session
cookie name.

Comment 4 Chris Wiegand 2006-03-24 19:12:00 UTC 
In 1.5.7, you can instead replace line 128 of Setup.php with this:

if (!ini_get('session.auto_start')) { // Added in case sessions auto start in PHP
	session_name( $wgCookiePrefix . '_session' );
}
