Hi,

 

I would NOT have a /tmp directory in my root set to chmod 777.

 

The best thing for sessions is to store them in the database.

 

In both catalog and admin includes/configure.php at the bottom change:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

To:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

And if you read all the information at Wiki, the help docs specifically you will be way ahead.
