moved oscmax to new server, still LIVE...issues

Hello people,
This is my first post in here and I hope it's an easy one for you gurus. I left a hosting company that used windows servers and went to lunarpages.com and they use unix, which is fine except I am having some directory issues and cannot find where to change some paths. First error

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/www/vhost/crowerpower.com/httpdocs/sessions/sess_551645b948920401bc2348d20f174d85, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/crowe5/public_html/estore/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /var/www/vhost/crowerpower.com/httpdocs/sessions. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.
This looks very easy but it is created...

Under the admin

Now I have gone to both configure.php files one under the store and the other in admin to change the path and I still get the error. Any help please...
Thanks

That looks like a session directory permissions issue. Make sure you either store the sessions in mysql (edit your configure.php files, you will see a sessions entry, change it from blank to mysql) or change the sessions save path in the admin panel from it's current setting to something valid and writable.

Here is the config file under store...

Thank you, adding the 'mysql' worked.
