Looks like a session saving problem...

If you're waiting on the support for your hosting company to reply you could use the following PHP function to set the session save path for you.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php

Or, you can set it in a .htaccess file:

php_value session.save_path "<path here>"

Or, you can set it in PHP with the ini_set function.

As for the cgi-bin, can't you make those folders via FTP, or does your hosting provider not let you see above the document root?
