I'm getting the "Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /home/salsatech/www/rareside/gallery/session.php on line 60" session issue that I've seen mention of in the forums. So far everything seems to be setup correctly (ie. session.save_handler is set to files already and not user) on my host (phpwebhosting.com).

phpinfo: http://www.salsatech.com/rareside/gallery/setup/phpinfo.php
gallery: http://www.salsatech.com/rareside/gallery/
diagnostics: http://www.salsatech.com/rareside/gallery/setup/diagnostics.php

host info: PHP Version 4.3.2, apache 1.3.27 on linux or unix (not sure)

Thanks for any ideas and I'll post again if I figure it out on my own. :]

session.save_handler user files

The local value for session.save_handler is users. It needs to be files. Change it in httpd.conf or add this line to your .htaccess file

php_value session.save_handler "files"

excellent, that did the trick.

I think I was too tired when I was messing with this last night...re-read my post and it makes very little sense. I appreciate the quick, valid feedback friend.
