Sudden Magento Failure - The session id is too long or contains illegal characters + Can't retrieve entity config

Magento Failure

You'll be cooking soon.
Suddenly, your magento starts showing error reports instead of shopping carts. Your product pages just show an error exception. And you cannot logon. One of the basic skills that a good Magento cart builder needs to know is how to recover their server from near death.  We are quite skilled at all things Magento. Here's how to fix it by deleting the cache and session pool, once you do this, you will be cooking with gas again.

So, you look in var/report and find the report file, and the first things it says is:

a:5:{i:0;s:46:"Can't retrieve entity config: sales/quote_item";i:1;s:4545:"#0 /home/needfulthings/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource.php(282): Mage::throwException('Can't retrieve ...')
#1 /home/needfulthings/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Db/Abstract.php(276): Mage_Core_Model_Resource->getTableName('sales/quote_ite...')

Plus in ./var/log/system.log, you see this:

...
2019-06-17T02:49:35+00:00 ERR (3): Warning: session_start(): The session id is too long or contains illegal characters, valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and '-,'  in /home/needfulthings/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php on line 134
2019-06-17T02:49:35+00:00 ERR (3): Warning: session_start(): The session id is too long or contains illegal characters, valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and '-,'  in /home/needfulthings/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php on line 134

It happens because there is junk in the magento cache.
clean out your cache and delete your sessions from:

Delete the contents of the following directories, assuming your magento is installed in ~/

~/public_html/var/cache
~/public_html/var/session

Mercedes Benz Diesel CDI EGR Emulator Circuit Diagrams

Mercedes EGR Emulator Circuits for Electric Wahler EGR on Diesel Engine For any car fitted with a MAF you can't just block the  EGR valve  as the MAF detects the reduced airflow when the valve operates. If it fails to report this reduction the ECU throws a code, turns on the MIL light and engages Limp Home mode. The  EGR valve  is operated in varying degrees whenever the engine is in cruise mode. A circuit has to be designed that reduces the MAF output voltage whenever the  EGR valve  is called to actuate. Having seen a mod on another forum I decided to give it a go and installed it last night. The circuit is really simple. The  EGR valve  transducer is fed with constant 12v which is proportionately shunted to Gnd to create the potential to activate the transducer, to engage the EGR solenoid and allow hot gasses into the intage via the  EGR valve  in varying degrees. The MAF is in the cold air intake. the EGR gasses enter further downstream. the MAF then monitors the red

Lots of these Messages about the Diagnostic Service Host in the System Log On Windows 7/10 Machines Attached to A Domain The Diagnostic Service Host service failed to start due to the following error: A privilege that the service requires to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration. You may use the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in (services.msc) and the Local Security Settings MMC snap-in (secpol.msc) to view the service configuration and the account configuration.  The good news is that you can fix it using active directory group policy or the Local Security Policy and just adding a few things to the Local Policies.  Same fix applies to both Windows 7 and Windows 10.  To Fix this using any Policy, you must be running a Professional or Enterprise version of Windows.
