<p dir="ltr">Thanks! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I did get some advice from another source too, as follows:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Make sure all features are up to date<br>
Update these first</p>

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.<br>
The sessions table has a 'sid' column, which on my system stores<br>
the session ID, (not the session name).<br>
As I understand it, the value returned by the session_name()<br>
function is the name of the cookie that has been set.<br>
The contents of the cookie is the same as the session ID.<br>
Example, on my machine, using localhost, The session_name()<br>
function returns<br>
SESS8f93ae84e0d076318a028995c285dfea<br>
I find a cookie named<br>
SESS8f93ae84e0d076318a028995c285dfea<br>
and it's contents are<br>
5GwoK_4A8Kiw8gmEnVo0lyCcq5H4-jz1X5T0ODMz76A<br>
<br>
In the sessions table, I find the sid value equal to<br>
5GwoK_4A8Kiw8gmEnVo0lyCcq5H4-jz1X5T0ODMz76A<br>
<br>
And that is the same value returned from $_COOKIE[session_name()];<br>
So the sid value in the database is the session ID, *not* the<br>
*session name*<br>
<br>
I'm try to find out where the *session name* is stored. It must be<br>
in the database somewhere to maintain presistance.<br>
cheers<br>

Hey James,<br>
<br>
I have tried updating everything, including Modules, Themes and Core, and<br>
eventually many things did broke.<br>
I did that by updating the Core first, check on the release notes and any<br>
major changes, that will impact my custom code or contributed modules<br>
settings.<br>
If things break now, Dont panic, you might find many modules which will<br>
work only after specific version of drupal core, because of a bug fix.<br>
<br>
Next, you can start updating your modules one by one, recommended, and see<br>
what version of module is compatible with which one. Also there might be a<br>
complete new version of module available, which might not work for you,<br>
something like from 7.x-1.x to 7.x-2.x, which is ideally not recommended,<br>
you should upgrade within the same version.<br>
You should test everything now.<br>
<br>
Next, if you want to upgrade to themes, go ahead, that might not effect<br>
much.<br>
<br>
Lastly, if you see some features overridden, use Diff module and check for<br>
any changes.<br>
<br>
