Description Brion Vibber 2007-03-06 02:31:17 UTC It's fairly common for Windows-based server configurations to have broken PHP sessions, usually due to a bad default value for session.save_path. Testing for this in the installer should cut down on confusion and support requests about this issue. Comment 1 Rob Church 2007-03-29 18:38:00 UTC Added checks in r20815.
