Session verification failure, can't get in as admin

Ok, am familiar with that.  If you select the second option, it downloads a sql dump to your computer, and I believe it will only restore it to the original location.  You would have to import the dump using phpmyadmin or a third party utility like MySQLDumper.  If you're on a shared host, phpmyadmin will probably choke on a 50mb+ dump.  The usual route is to have host support import the db, but that apparently didn't work for you. I'm not entirely convinced that your session verification fail is a database problem.
Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend,

Sorry, yes it is but other projects have gotten in the way of my following up on y'all's suggestions.  I plan to

  • remove a level of indirection by re-rooting the sandbox filesystem to our /home directory
  • try using that myPHPadmin copy function to refresh the sandbox database
Won't be able to get to that until this weekend.  Will report when I have some results.

Alright, let us know when you get to it, and of course if you hit further issues along the way :)
