Session creates new session id on every page load

[quote author="niranjnn01" date="1323483005"]I solved the problem too, and the world suddenly seems to be a better place to live in!!!


I tired all the above said ways to solve, But no single solution solved my problem. a number of them did.

I noticed that the session was destroyed at the following part of the session library

Code:

// Decrypt the cookie data
  if ($this->sess_encrypt_cookie == TRUE)
  {
   $session = $this->CI->encrypt->decode($session);
  }
  else
  {
   // encryption was not used, so we need to check the md5 hash
   $hash  = substr($session, strlen($session)-32); // get last 32 chars
   $session = substr($session, 0, strlen($session)-32);

   // Does the md5 hash match?  This is to prevent manipulation of session data in userspace
   if ($hash !==  md5($session.$this->encryption_key))
   {
    log_message('error', 'The session cookie data did not match what was expected. This could be a possible hacking attempt.');
    $this->sess_destroy();
    return FALSE;
   }
  }

so i used this in the config

Code:

$config['sess_encrypt_cookie'] = TRUE;
$config['cookie_domain'] = "mydomainname.com"; // IMPORTANT!! - DID NOT WORK WITHOUT THIS BEING SET - FOR ME

Strangely enough, the code was working perfectly well without any of these problems/fixes in my local(wamp in windows 7). My server is Linux.
