Recordings (voicemail web interface) tab broken

I have a FreePBX system that when you log into the recordings (voicemail web interface) tab it works. As soon as you click any link it redirects me back to the login page. This is a test system now so I have been trying to figure this out just in case it happens again.

The system started out 1.8.1.4-3 and I did a yum update which updated PHP to version 5.2.17 and that is when this problem started happing. I since then applied in order all of the update scripts, 1.8.2.0-1, 1.8.2.0-2, 1.86.29.55-1. These updates did not resolve the issue.

I have a production system fully updated and it does not have these problems.

Someone else just posted a similar issue, the fix purposed fixed my system. Permission on the /var/lib/php/session was not set to asterisk group.
