New Comment:
I do not know if mine is the same "bug" I went to my site:
http://www.videotime.info and I got the following code:
Warning: Unknown:
open(/tmp/www.videotime.info/sess_2d42195412bd7242893f1ce67b531875,
O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify
that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
(/tmp/www.videotime.info) in Unknown on line 0
I was looking for a solution for this and found your website. Should I
reinstall? Will that remedy it temporarily?

We are currently getting the same error on 2 different enviroments. This
does not happen all the time, but often enough to be an annoyance during
testing.
Environment as follows:
1. FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE
[root@crossbow /]# cat /usr/local/etc/php.ini | grep "session"
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = "/var/tmp"
session.use_cookies = 1
[root@crossbow /]# php -v

session.save_path = "0;\tmp"
?? What is 0;\tmp supposed to mean?

I too am getting similar messages - essentially where the session file
is failing to create. Unfortunately I am getting it all the time, which
is a problem as I am trying to teach myself PHP at home.
What is different for me is that I am running a Windows 2K server, using
IIS, and PHP 5.2.2.
The initial error I get at the first session_start() call is:
The description for Event ID ( 2 ) in Source ( PHP-5.2.2 ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. The following information is part of the event: php[352], PHP
Warning: session_start() [<a
href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]:
open(\tmp\sess_8t6afg6omu4au9ofqnru80l6r5, O_RDWR) failed: No such file
or directory (2) in F:\MixWeb\mdroot\php_sandpit\ch10\login.php on line
60.
The extract of my php.ini is:
[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = "0;\tmp"
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
Having been trying to search down answers for this but so far no luck.

I have been getting the same error...
in php.ini file i have set the session.save_path to
public_html/cgi-bin/session
And the chmod of the session folder is 777
Everything looks fine technically but even if that... i get this error.
I really need help to figure out this issue and fix it. And the hosting
company that i work with they insist on saying that it is not a server
error. But I do not understand that even if the chomod of the
session.save_path pointing to the correct folder and chmod 777, I am
getting this error.

I have been experiencing the same (or very similar) problem. One
interesting thing that I found is that sometimes I can reload page A and
see the session data happily sitting there, but on page B the data is
not there. I have both pages open in tabs in Firefox and I can go back
and forth reloading the pages. Page A always has the data, page B never
does. Both pages require the same init.php script to start the session.
