I know this has been on here a ton of times but I was searching through the boards and tried a few things that people said and it did not work. I am a newbie too so I was hoping some one could help. I am using PostNuke .726-1 and the server I am using has: phpMyAdmin 2.4.0 , MySQL 4.0.17 , Red Hat Linux. As far as the rest of it I have checked a few CHMOD on stuff but again I am new and not sure what I am looking for half the time. If some one could help me with this Session initialisation failed issue it would totally make my day. Thanks again.

what have you tried so far? Try using phpMyAdmin to repair the sessions table

Lucky this thread was so handy - dropping the sessions table and restoring from my last backup worked like a charm.
For further eduction though why does a working site's session table fail like that? I had that happen for the first time this afternoon - never before, with the site up for over a year. -

*distant memory possibly factually incorrect*
Certain combinations of Apache and MySQL apparently cause a blip in MySQL sometimes, and if you have are reading from the sessions table at that time it can become corrupted, meaning new sessions cant be created for new visitors.
