Hi all, I think I just shot myself in the foot and I'm hoping somebody out there can help me recover.
I can no longer log into the admin side of my site, and I think it's becuase I stupidly entered a bad URL translatation forwarding all /user/* requests to the default node.
Where are these translations stored, and what's the easiest way to reverse them when one can't log in?

Take a look in the ezurlalias db table. I think you can just remove the problematic entry there.

Yes that works. I had to do that myself at one time ;)
phpmyadmin was definitely useful ;)

Thanks, you two.
The reason I posted was because I couldn't find anything in the ezurlalias table when I looked. But I was looking from the command line and going in blind. On a devel box I played back a backup from well before the URL translation addition, but was still having the same problem. Puzzled me a lot. I was coming to the conclusion that translations were stored somewhere in the filesystem when it dawned on me that I hadn't cleared caches (Doh!). After clearing caches I was able to log in to the devel box, no problem.So, long story short: I fired up pgadmin on my production server, found the nasty entry and deleted it, cleared the urlalias cache (I'm sOOOO glad there's a separate call for that) and Schiiing, I was in.
Thanks again, both of you. If I hadn't found the solution after all, your responses would have saved my bacon this morning. Very much appreciated.
