I found this and think it may help people. It worked great for me. Post by bausman

For those that come after me with similar problems you need to edit your php.ini file. It can be found here http://ops.powweb.com/member/cgiManagement/PHPplus.bml

You will see what you directory is once you login into your account with the above link. (ie. /home/users/web/b1958/pow.XXXXXXXXXX/htdocs)

copy it and paste it to the "edit" section below. Just remove the /htdocs and add /phpsessions

You need to look for:

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files

; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
session.save_path = /var/php_sessions

and edit it to:

session.save_path= /home/users/web/b1958/pow.XXXXXXXXXX/phpsessions

You will leave the pull down menu at php4. Click eddit and follow above directions. This is done at the bold powweb link above.
