It's a good idea to hard-code thesess_save_pathpath. Also make sure to chmod 700 for the directory, see under 'Files driver' at codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html

Have you read the link? You should add an absolute path to the sessions directory you want, and it should be a non public directory. The suggestion is/application/sessionsor equal depending on your environment. Then chmod it. Most probably the reason your sessions dont get stored on your new server is that CI can't save/read the session files. Another suggestion is using a database or memcached if you have, i'ts faster.

some OS works fine with $config['sess_save_path'] = NULL like centOS while other server need path to store session. provide session path then check

You are using the "files" driver so you must supply a path to $config['sess_save_path']. You set the value to NULL which will not work.
The value assigned to $config['sess_save_path'] must be a full, absolute, path and must have the appropriate owner and permission settings. Documentation on the files driver.
For reasons of security, many devs create a folder on the same level as the website public folder. If that folder is named "sessions" then you could set the config like this
$config['sess_save_path'] = dirname(FCPATH .'/sessions/');
The other thing to try is being explicit with the cookie_domain, ie.
$config['cookie_domain'] = '.yourdomain.tld';
Be sure to include the leading dot.
