Reading the error verbatim, your webserver does not have access to the sessions folder in your filesystem. Apache may be running as another user (like apache or www-data) that can't edit your session dir.

You need to change your permissions on /var/lib/php/session/. Set the permissions of your existing session dir to be

chmod u=rwx,og=wxt /var/lib/php/session/

If that doesn't work or can't be done, change the directory PHP stores sessions to something safe like /tmp

Check your php.ini settings or use this:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php

So have a look here and feel better that others are suffering too:

I finally got past this stage by having the hosting provider zap the entire thing and start from new as a new client. It worked.
