Answer 1

The path in session_save_path('/w/w/session'); is not the one you need.

Try one of those:

session_save_path('./session');
session_save_path('/session');
session_save_path('/tmp');

On a shared host, you are not as flexible as on a rootserver, and your /www is chrooted, that means, the real path, which you cannot access then is something like /var/www/user3183123/www .
