Hi,
When we are tried to login to phpmyadmin, got following error:
"Error during session start; please check your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser."
After checking found that ut is using incorrect value of session variable i.e. /var/lib/php5 but it must use following /var/lib/php5/sessions.
We are currently fixing it by using following commands:
chmod a+t+w /var/lib/php5
chmod go-r /var/lib/php5
We know its not proper way to change session variables.

    Hi,
    this is not a bug in phpMyAdmin as our code is not using a specific directory name for sessions. This is a server issue, see http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/support.php to obtain help on server issues.
