Walk through the wizard.
You can put in any information you want.
When you get to confirm settings none of the database information is correct or there. None of the System Credentials is correct or there.

The session seems to be saving correctly on the server.
Although there is a new seems to reset every time with empty data.

You work on php for years then you are forced by your boss to hurry something up.
Then get a little disorganized and make stupid mistakes and don't think things through.
or you just don't want to mess with it.

Such a simple over looked item.
the cookie was not being set correctly on the browser.
Only needed to change the cookie_path and all is well.

Fixed

from
session.cookie_path = /tmp
to
session.cookie_path = /

question where do you make that change? I have the same exact issue.

Thanks!
