Following the advice from previous answers to this i have done the following;
Checked the database using My PHP and can gain access to it.
it also states localhost is correct. Username / Password and database name are correct. (Set up an additional one in case this was the problem)
Main page URL showing the following, however I'm assuming that this information is due the install process not being performed as yet.

I did have an issue with the directory files were kept in originally and they have been moved from public_html to www (as this seems to be the only way in which it work)
Do you have a test account for us? No
Any and all advise would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

This all looks like a database connection issue. Here's line 903 of install.php, mentioned in the one message:
$mysql_access = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
I would triple, quadruple verify that you've got the right info. Make sure you've got the right prefixes. Most hosts have that. So like if my hosting account username is 'coolness' and my database name is 'book', then the database name is really coolness_book. It's late at night here so my names are probably silly, but I'm just trying to give the idea. The same goes for the database user as well. From the one message I see your username doesn't look to be formatted that way (unless you changed it after pasting?).
I'm not sure what you meant about moving from public_html to www. On most Apache servers I believe that even though both folders exist in a directory listing, they are actually the same thing. (Not an expert on servers, though. All I know is that's how it works on mine.)
Thanks Lyndsie,
The username and database name had to be prefixed with relativ2_
Sometimes I look at something for so long I fail to see the obvious.
Thanks for your help

Talk to your host. The session_start error is definitely on their end. And if one problem is on their end, I wouldn't be surprised if more aren't as well.
