  It looks like your hosting provider or server config has overridden the PHP ini setting [`session.save_handler`](http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.save-handler) (or related settings like `session.save_path`).
  
  You could try applying a fix similar to the one over on [CRM-17212: IPN and other scripts break on Pantheon due to session handler](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17212)
