This is usually because IVLE can't save your session information. IVLE saves |
|
24 |
sessions to a sessions directory on disk. Unfortunately, this is not currently |
|

configurable in ./setup.py config. You need to edit the Apache config file. |

Look for PythonOption mod_python.file_session.database_directory. Make sure it |
|
28 |
is set to the place you want. Then, you need to manually make sure that |
|
29 |
directory exists. |
