Can't get to general info in admin to determine if my directory settings have mysteriously changed--Admin was working fine last Saturday, today, Wednesday June 6, not working.

Checked Wiki on this topic.
My domain host will not assist.
Cannot determine precisely which directory "sessions" is to appear from the information given. Since the Pixelpost code is spread over multiple files (hard to follow) I decided it most expedient to try a new support thread (didn't see a search forum search).
Hope this is an easy one to solve! Thanks.

"My domain host will not assist. "
If so you should leave them asap, because support is part of a business

but you can do the following:

upload a file phpinfo.php with the following content to your server:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and open that in a browser
this info is quite helpful as well
but you must not make screenshots and publish them here... ;=)
you can try to find out what changed, if there is some info related to sessions

you can safe that output to your harddisk, then you should delete the file at your server again

this for information

another thing: check with another browser, that might help as well
empty the cache of your browser and check also

but first: it seems that the tmp-directory is not correct, not supporting sessions and that is something what your hoster should/MUST fix!

Worked fine in different browser. Thanks for thinking of a variety of options!

Dump Firefox? I'm going to try a support question with bugzilla on this--works in IE but not Firefox 2.0.0.4. Anything in the browser that I should look for in preferences or other configuration?

No, this is certainly not a browser issue.

Hosting was moving to new server without mentioning it to me, so of course that was the cause. Thanks for all the assistance.

I knew it!

There are always 3 buddies at the party, the hoster the user and also PP
but PP is not the black sheep always ;=)
