title: Zend Session save_path NOT not working
body: <p>I hope you guys can help me , </p>
  
  <p>In my Zend application I'm setting the Zend_Auth session files to be saved in a specific folder because I am using a shared hosting. Apparently I have got everything right but the problem is that the sessions are not being stored in the folder I want.</p>
  
  <p>In the application.ini I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>resources.session.save_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/session/"
  resources.session.use_only_cookies = true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the bootstrap I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected function _initSessions() 
  {
      $this-&gt;bootstrap('session');
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The authentication method</p>
  
  <pre><code>$adapter = $this-&gt;getAuthAdapter();
  $adapter-&gt;setIdentity($userName)-&gt;setCredential($hPassword);
  
  $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
  $result  = $auth-&gt;authenticate($adapter);
  $user = $this-&gt;_userModel-&gt;getUserAuthData($userName);
  $auth-&gt;getStorage()-&gt;write($user);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The application authenticates fine but the session files are still being saved in de /tmp folder instead of APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/session/". </p>
  
  <p>The folder /data/session has chmod 777.</p>
  
  <p>What I am missing here?</p>
