Loosing Sessions on WAMP?

[eluser]Stilly[/eluser]
Hi

I have a strange behavior here and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

I am developing a site and I work locally on a WAMP server and upload teh stuff from time to time to my webserver which is usual LAMP.

I make use of the session class and it works fine on both systems. But when I store the sessions in the DB it works perfectly well on LAMP - but it does not on WAMP. Everytime I call a new page it creates a new empty session (userdata missing).

Is this WAMP related?

I already googled the whole day and went though tons of session related posting here in forum, but seem not to find anything that refers to this behavior.

Anyone a clue?

found it out myself...the issue is that on wamp you will have something like http://localhost/directory - In other words you dont have a domain to put in $config['cookie_domain']

solved it with the windows hosts file

What did you do to fix it exactly? I'm having the same problem, session data gets lost every so often. This is on MAMP / Mac.
