I constantly get this error when attempting to view index.php in the phpMyAdmin folder I have setup:

Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

I am using subversion with three co-workers and I am trying to install this on my repository, which is at /svni3/myusername/intranet/ on our linux development server. I do have shell access so I would be able to install it somewhere else if that may be causing the problem.

My config.inc.php file looks like this (only the things I changed):

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'blah';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'username';

//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';

Other helpful information???

When I ping localhost it works. When I run the command "ls -l /var/lib/php":

drwxrwx--- 2 root apache 4096 2009-04-17 02:31 session

If there's anything else that may be helpful let me know; this has been plaguing me for a few hours now.
