 * Hi there,
 * I’d love to test your plugin but it won’t activate on my install.
 * I deactivated all my plugins, even switched back to standard 2012 Theme. Doesn’t
   make any difference. I get the error below.
 * Thanks…

 * Doesn’t look like this plugin is compatible with your server configuration.
 * Your server seems to have a problem with PHP sessions, so when this plugin starts
   up it starts a PHP session which generates a fatal error thanks to:
 * Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.
   The script whose uid is 2944 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0
 * You could send that error to your host and they should be able to fix it.
