I just tried moving espresso from test server to live and it resulted in this error
Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/mysite.org/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/espresso.php on line 56
The way I moved the site, is I first move all the database tables associated with events espresso, then uploaded the plugin. After I tried activating the plugin, this error came up, and I had to remove the plugin in ftp to get back to the site.
You can check with the host of the live server and verify that the directory that is set to store sessions (usually the /tmp directory) is writeable by the web server and there available space there.
Another note: when you migrate Event Espresso from one site to another, all of its settings are stored in the WordPress _options table. Since many of these are site specific, a plugin like WP MigrateDB is recommended to migrate the settings.
