$config['cookie_domain']    = '';
$config['cookie_path']      = '/';
$config['cookie_secure']    = FALSE;
$config['cookie_httponly']  = FALSE;

You are using the "files" driver so you must supply a path to $config['sess_save_path']. You set the value to NULL which will not work.

The value assigned to $config['sess_save_path'] must be a full, absolute, path and must have the appropriate owner and permission settings. Documentation on the files driver.

For reasons of security, many devs create a folder on the same level as the website public folder. If that folder is named "sessions" then you could set the config like this

$config['sess_save_path'] = dirname(FCPATH .'/sessions/'); 

The other thing to try is being explicit with the cookie_domain, ie.

$config['cookie_domain']    = '.yourdomain.tld';

Be sure to include the leading dot.
