Ok, I see you're using suPHP for that site, because it has a separate php.ini 
in the site's home directory.

This php.ini is protected with "chattr +i" to prevent that it gets edited.

Do the following:

Make your desired changes to the servers php.ini file (/etc/php.ini). Then 
turn off suPHP for the site and save the changes. Then turn suPHP back on and 
again save the changes. The servers php.ini will then get copied into the 
site's home directory again - including your modification.

Additionally make sure that the directory /var/lib/php/session/ has 777 
permissions:

chmod 777 /var/lib/php/session/

We need that for suPHP to work. Otherwise suPHP enabled sites cannot create 
session cookies, as they cannot write to that directory.
