Im currently trying to move my site from localhost on my machine to my web server. And there is one problem.
Everything works fine, except login form for administration.
At first I thought it was not-saving-as-utf-8-without-BOM problem, but error logs show some strange problem which I never had before. As far as I understand, the problem is about saving session data on server, see error log below.
PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_cd9931f63118e645ca5d3704fecf86c6, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /hermes/bosweb/web273/b2738/ipg.mydomaincom/admin/login.php on line 2

Here is the code I use for login.php document:
<?php
session_start ();
require_once 'config/config.php';
$auth = "SELECT username, password FROM admin";
$dbi = mysql_query($auth, $connection);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($dbi);
if($_POST["username"] == $row['username'] && MD5($_POST["password"]) == $row['password'])
{
$_SESSION["Login"] = "true";
header ("Location: index.php");
}
else
{
$_SESSION["Login"] = "false";
//error msg
echo "<html>
<head><title>Failed Login Attempt</title></head>
<body>
Ops! Unlucky guess, try again!
<a href='index.php'>Go Back</a>
</body>
</html>
";
}
?>

first step, check that the directory /var/php_sessions/ exists and is writable by your web server.
