 New Comment:

I am also having this problem, FreeBSD 4.6.2 with
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_throttle/3.1.2 mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a PHP/4.2.3

Using SquirrelMail 1.4.0 I get the usual:

Failed to write session data
(files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path
is
correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

My box has multiple CPUs.

I have had this problem for a long time.

Thanks to the individual that mentioned the /var/www/tmp directory.  I
did not change the permissions of the directory, I simply got rid of it
and the problem went away.

I used to have a /var/www/tmp from testing in the past.  So I just
deleted it and the problem is solved.

PHP developers:  Any reason why this would mess up PHP sessions?

I was having similar problems. It seems to be related to the require()
statement. 
I solved this putting the seesion_start() statement outside the
included script (e.g. if I have require("auth.php") I put
session_start() issue outside auth.php.
At least It works in my particular case. You can test it and see if it
works for you too.
Please post your results. I

I HAVE SOLVED!!!

I created a tmp directory in /var/www that is my OpenBSD Apache root
directory (not document root). I set the right permissions and now it
runs!!!

Good luck guys!
