Thread:Project:Support desk/Login problems - "Failed to initialize storage module"

Hi all,

I hope somebody could help me out here. My website is on a shared host (without shell access) and has recently been moved by the provider to a new server with more recent versions of MySQL and PHP. Unfortunately, any attempt to log in now produces the following error message:

Fatal error: session_start [function.session-start]: Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /home/***/***/***/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 3072 

Any advice?
