Louis, I feel kinda shamefaced over this, but it seems awfully strange <sigh />. I tried setting my config to the values you published, but made no difference. Then, while proofing, I noticed the you had session.save_handler files files, and I had session.save_handler file file, I changed the singular _file_ entry to the plural _files_ entry and sessions once again worked. Have no idea how the value was originally changed to file <sigh />.
