No, how do I configure the session library? I don't believe the
configuration of any libraries was mentioned in the guides I read, or
any other documentation, but I could have missed something.

Whenever I try to do anything with cgilua.session it tells me it is
nil. Is this because it isn't configured properly?  as a shot in the
dark I tried to require("cgilua.session"). although it allowed that
line it didn't have any effect. I still get the error when trying to
access *anything* in the cgilua.session table.

It might be worth noting that everything else in CGILUA works fine and
runs without errors in both Apache and Xavante.
