CodeIgniter session error and login not working – Plesk

I’ve recently moved a Code Ignitor 2.1.0 website to a new plesk server and getting some error about the session..The error i got was below:

Message: session_start(): open(/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56/sess_nm1ku70qf3mpqumtuujltb3nj0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)

Filename: libraries/Session.php

Line Number: 122

My session code is below:
