even tho the errors are reporting an error with line 2, which would be
the $retStat = session_start(); line, make sure that there is NOTHING
above the opening <?php tag
no line, breaks, no spaces, nada, zip

I've never actually tried tying session_start() to a var. I usually just
stick it in there...

otherwise, it looks to me like php is trying to find the /tmp dir, which
is typical Un*x/linux, but the other file paths appear to be windows
file structure.

/tmp would be at the root of the filesystem, not a subdir of anything.

Is this a new server? Perhaps the configuration was wrong at install?
I think you can change the path to the tmp dir that sessions are stored
in via the php.ini file, but I'd have to look it up to be certain.
