seesion.save_path Problem

Environment ------------- WinXP Pro SP1 PHP 4.3.9 Apache 2.0.52 I am trying to set the session.save_path in php.ini and I cannot get it to work. I have tried session.save_path = "X:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/html/SessionSave" session.save_path = "/ApacheGroup/Apache2/html/SessionSave" session.save_path = 2;/SessionSave session.save_path = 2;SessionSave and other patterns. I'm putting the number in front as that is explained in the ini file as the number of nested directories it will go. I don't need that but thought that might get it to work. But nothing works. It is defaulting to /. It is writeable. Where am I going wrong????? I am also going to include the rest of the [Session] area in case another setting is causing this problem. Thanks for the help.
