Hi,
session_start might hang if another page already has that session open
and is running. If that's a possibility, you might want to call
session_write_close() on the other page, or make sure the page
completes first. There's a note in the comments at
php.net/session_start about this.
Changing the session path usually works using ini_set, or .htaccess:
php_value session.save_path /my/home/php-sessions
The directory should be writable by the web user.
