The following code never works under Debian because session_path (/var/lib/php5/) is writeable by PHP but not readable for security reasons (chmod drwx-wx-wt):

if(ini_get('safe_mode') || ini_get('open_basedir') || empty($sessionPath) || !@is_readable($sessionPath) || !@is_writable($sessionPath))

Hence, all sessions files go to tmp/sessions which fails to work on a load balanced architecture.

On a load balanced architecture, you can't use session.save_handler = files (i.e., local session files) This is the default Debian/Ubuntu configuration.

You'll have to set-up a memcached server and configure the session.* settings manually, e.g.,

session.save_handler = memcached
session.save_path = hostname:port, hostname:port, ...
