As recommended in the other thread, set the PHP date.timezone in
/etc/php.ini.  Then,

mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg -e 'TRUNCATE TABLE mythweb_sessions;'

And, for the future, specifics of what's failing can make it much easier
for us to help.  All this time, I was debugging the wrong issue for
you.  MythWeb and mythfrontend are very different, so if you check
mythfrontend, I'm sure it's working fine--all that's been broken since
you initially re-grabbed your listings data is MythWeb.
