Hi,

I am getting an unusual session error on the second screen of the install -

"Session not working, you have problem with some modules and functionality! Ask your provider, exiting!"

However - this is a dedicated server where I have installed the software countless times with no issue.  I have checked another site and logged in using FEU as a test on sessions and all seems fine. 

I have also deleted all files and re-uploaded in case its actually a problem with the files.

I have also restarted apache.

I am trying to install 1.8.2. 

Can anyone else shed any light on what would cause this and what else I can try.

Is this a brand new install of 1.8.2, or are you upgrading?

Try installing 1.8 first and then do the upgrades 1.8.1. - 1.8.2.

That's how I got my 1.8.2 install to work.  It's happen to me with other versions as well.  I had to install the full version and then to the diff-upgrades to get to the latest version.

Hope that helps,
