I'm importing text from my old install. While it worked fine at first,
it suddenly stopped letting me save edits to pages. Instead I seem to
be stuck in preview! I see I'm not the first person to have this
problem:

But I can't figure out if there is any solution. Someone said
something about creating a "sessions" directory, but creating such a
directory in wiki folder didn'ty seem to make a difference.
If your hosting provider is using a server farm with multiple hosts, the
default PHP session configuration may be storing data on a local drive
which breaks things.
Try checking the directions for running on Sourceforge, which has a
similar issue:

Just making a directory isn't enough; you'll have to configure it, as
described there.
