MediaWiki won't keep me logged in
Has anybody else had this problem with mediawiki? I log in, and then it tells me I'm logged in, but as soon as I click onto another page, I'm logged out again. If I select "remember me" it will let me move about logged in, but as soon as I try to edit anything, it tells me it has session loss.
I'm on the newest stable version.

Versions
I haven't seen this issue with Mediawiki, but with other software when combined with MySQL and PHP 5. In some instances the wrong driver is being used and updates are failing with no errors reported. Exactly which versions of MySQL and PHP are you using?

no not at all. I was thinking the same thing. Not that either. I got an email back from my hosting company saying the "fixed it" which leads me to believe they messed up the permissions and were trying to get away with not telling me about it. This stuff seems to happen a lot on this host. 
EDIT:
OK I just got this response after asking what the problem was:

hmm... was accessible to me yesterday...We just had to create a session folder that is accessible to your user and then edit the php.ini to use that folder. The default installation has it set to a folder that you do not have access to. It is a pretty common issue. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you.
