Your previous host had output buffering turned on. Your new host doesn’t.

You need to either put ‘ob_start()’ at the top of your scripts/pages, or find a way to change the php.ini settings (perhaps through a .htaccess rule like at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4642097/php-htaccess-output-buffering )

OR remove whatever is outputting content BEFORE you call session_start(). This may be blank lines or echo statements or just inline HTML.
