Note Submitter: Dan ---- Sessions expire randomly? Running many related sites, which people may view at the same time? Make sure you use a different directory for the session save path of each virtual host (by default, the session files will go into /tmp, so create sub directories there, such as sess_dir1 and set permissions correctly)! Put a .htaccess file in the root of each site, and include 'php_value session.save_path /tmp/sess_dir1' in that file. I had two sites (company.com and x.company.com) which shared the /tmp folder for sessions, and typically both sites would be open at the same time. Somehow the sessions were shared - not sure why but using different folders for the save_path solved the problem. This is a good idea anyway if you host many sites, but these were both company sites on a single server.
