With typical Debian permissions: $ ls -ld /var/lib/php5
drwx-wx-wt 2 root root 315392 Feb 13 13:12 /var/lib/php5

I saw the following error when I was suppose to get the LocalSettings.php:

Error starting session: session_start() [<a href='function.session-
start'>function.session-start</a>]: ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var
/lib/php5) failed: Permission denied (13)

Hitting reload meant I could download LocalSettings.php without a problem.
