[support] Problem with Drupal site

[Bruce Whealton]

I'm not sure what you mean by flushing the table - not sure which table you mean or 
  how to do that.  Sorry for my ignorance.  I also can point out, if it helps to know, that
  I haven't moved the site or done any debugging, or anything to the site.  It was
  up fine one day and then it wasn't.  It hasn't loaded up once since this error 
  first appeared.

(Zend) and I kill it part way through. It works again after I refresh the 
page, though.

The session table contains state information for users currently logged into 
the site. Depending on your site, it may be safe to simply flush that table 
(along with the cache table). It's a not-uncommon thing to do before moving 
a site from one server to another. Any users currently logged in will get 
kicked out, and if you have any save-in-session features enabled those will 
be lost as well, but neither should be a permanent problem nor should doing 
so affect unpublished nodes. (Only you know if that's an acceptable 
trade-off.)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
