           Summary: Mediawiki should not warn if the sesion path is not
                    writable and should not suggest putting it in
                    open_basedir
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.17-svn
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Installation

When installing mediawiki it is telling me:

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/var/lib/php5) is not within the allowed path(s): (xxx;xxx;xxx) in
xxx/mediawiki/config/Installer.php  on line 471

# Warning: Your session.save_path value (/var/lib/php5) appears to be invalid
or is not writable. PHP needs to be able to save data to this location for
correct session operation.

This is wrong. the session folder should NOT be in the open_basedir, and it
should not be readable/writable from php file io functions when open_basedir is
in effect.

There was a bug in php in regards to this, but it is fixed now.
