| Thank you, but this doesn't help. Because I have only one application

Oh, I see. -- BTW I'm in geneva now :)

Yes I have some problems with sessions not working when I
switch to using the builtin server (instead of apache under
a registered domain) under localhost (for testing changes).

| ".example.com" for "www.example.com" and "www.sub.example.com",
| "example.com" for "example.com" and of course
| "mylocaltestdomain" for "mylocaltestdomain".
| 
| But this is untested yet.

I'd be interested to know how you do that, if your tests are
successful.
