Yeah, that's correct. Apache::Session::MySQL uses Storable to
freeze/thaw the session data, and Storable is a binary format.

I think that should be ok. I've tested OI/MySQL with 3.23.36 without
problems.

What versions are you using of the following?

 Apache
 mod_perl
 DBI
 DBD::mysql
 Apache::Session

It sets the hostname by calling:

    my $srv = $apr->server;
    $R->{server_name} = $srv->server_hostname;

And 'perldoc Apache' says:

    $s->server_hostname
           Returns the hostname used by this server.

So maybe you have the server or vhost name set incorrectly in your
Apache configuration? ('ServerName' should be the hostname,
'ServerAdmin' should be your email.)

Had you logged in previously? This isn't a complete request -- it would
be useful to see the snippet that you've logged in ok. It would look
something like:

This says that you've got a session without login infomration, which is
why you're getting the 'task forbidden' errors.

Try:

 - deleting the session from the table:

     delete from session where id ='a38ca239fbc176829e875e2c5d7fc3bb'

 - login using the login box

 - see if you get something like this toward the end of the request
where you login and/or create a new session:

---------------
OpenInteract::Session::save (79) >> Session not yet created. Creating...
OpenInteract::Session::DBI::_create_session (26) >> Trying to fetch
session 
OpenInteract::Session::save (101) >> Expiration for new session set to
