Display Above Root Image with a controller on CI3-RC2

Also, FYI: 3.0rc2 != 3.0.2

Upsss!!! you're right!

I'm giving up with this thing. I will try on a live server from a different computer just in case this may be a local thing. Below are the final settings:

http://localhost/codeIgniter-3.0.2/gallery.html

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 0;
$config['sess_save_path'] = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/codeIgniter-3.0.2/sessions/';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 1;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

$config['cookie_prefix'] = '';
$config['cookie_domain'] = 'http://localhost/codeIgniter-3.0.2';
$config['cookie_path'] = '/';
$config['cookie_secure'] = FALSE;
$config['cookie_httponly'] = TRUE;

As last resource I am thinking on use encrypted session data to add security and the below alternative some where in the session_files_driver;

foreach (glob(SYSDIR . "/sessions/ci_session*") as $file)
{
if (filemtime($file) + $this->sess_expiration < time() && file_exists($file))
{
unlink($file);
}
}

Thank You for all your help!
