WordPress ignores cookie settings for session cookie

    Hi,

    this WordPress instance is installed in sub folder wmc2 in web server directory. In wp-config.php I set various cookie related settings:

    define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.wine-logistix.de');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/wmc2/');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/wmc2/');
define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/wmc2/wp-admin/');
define('PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH', '/wmc2/');

    These settings, especially the path settings, must be set in order for WordPress to not interfere with other applications starting their own sessions. WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL also includes /wmc2/ in URL.

    However, some settings seem to be ignored. Whenever I visit the wordpress site, the received PHPSESSID cookie has following settings:

    Host: www.wine-logistix.de
Path: /

    where Path is obviously wrong. PHPSESSID is set by index.php and its includes; network monitor in Firefox and Chrome show that. I have searched for occurences of session_start in all files and added session_set_cookie_params in a theme file where it was missing, but that didn’t change anything.

    Where can I look further or get the PHPSESSID cookie path right?
