      There is a problem with the field size of sesskey in the sessions database. It is currently set to char(32) but that is too small to hold the entire key. It should be set to char(40). Activate dbsessions with the sesskey still set to char(32) and try to log into your moodle site and it will complain at the footer of the front page and the login page about Session Replace: Duplicate key '...........' for key 1 and never let you log in.
