 Like issue #6802, there is also a invalid default value specified in the
 create statement of the mythweb_sessions table in the MythWeb plugin.

 According to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/blob.html:

 "In most respects, you can regard a BLOB column as a VARBINARY column that
 can be as large as you like. Similarly, you can regard a TEXT column as a
 VARCHAR column. BLOB and TEXT differ from VARBINARY and VARCHAR in the
 following ways:

     * For indexes on BLOB and TEXT columns, you must specify an index
 prefix length. For CHAR and VARCHAR, a prefix length is optional. See
 Section 7.4.2, “Column Indexes”.
     * BLOB and TEXT columns cannot have DEFAULT values."

 Please find attached a patch to fix this.
