That would tell me that the template's index.php is not writable by
the apache user. Can you double check directory and file permissions
on the server?

Nah, sessions have nothing to do with apache trying to write to a php
file in the document root. I would take a look at /templates/ and
inside, to see if the apache user can write to them.

I have a stock 4.5.1a on my laptop, and cannot replicate the problem
(ditto for two other linux servers, one FC1 and another FC2) - this is
the main reason that no one has offered a solution, because it is such
a rare one. What blows me away is that the host thinks an old,
unpatched version of Mambo is better than the newer, more secure (and
patched) version.

Can you give me access to a server that is having this problem?
