My session variables are not being saved across multiple pages

I'm strugling with why the session is not being saved accross my webpages. I have used this same code on a previous server and works perfectly, but when I tried to install the app on this new server, the session variables are not beeing saved at all.

Every page that is loaded, it passes thourgh this loading function:

// Initialise session data
session_start();

// Dispatch the request 
$template = dispatchRequest();

// Output the response 
echo($template->getOutput());

// Finished 
exit;

Template is a function that loads the current page according to the action is being requested, for example, www.webpage.com/do-something, this will bring up the do-something page.

Here is part of my phpinfo output:

I did 

chmod a+rwx /var/lib/php/session

and it worked for lighttpd.

If this is a new server maybe sessions aren't successfully written to the session folder, by default I think it saves it in /tmp but you may want to try setting a path in your php.ini like:

session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"

Apply proper write permissions to the folder and see if sessions are persisting across pages.
