I take it you figured it out, or at least I don’t see the errors on the site; anyway...that sounds like the webserver’s tmp directory where sessions are stored became unwritable for some reason.

i think it was the logging of visitors function....

the error was sorted when i turned that off :S

and also the error only showed up in safari and not in firefox !

strange.
