was your test board set as a child board and does that parent board still exist?

I had no child boards, only 3 boards under a 'General' category. I see the boards still exsist in the database but it seems to me the board structure collapsed. What worries me is that I didn't do anyting... I logged in, browse and suddenly this error message appeared. I can't log in to admin or the forum.

It just wont let you log in?

Do you get any error when trying to log in?

Do you have a link we can see?

Did you install and mods or make any changes in the recent past?

Well according to http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=141907.0 they replaced index.php with the backup in the forum directory and it resolved the problem.  Give it a try?

Also do you have RSS FeedPost?

Yes, I have RSS FeedPost installed... I actually went and have a look at the mod in admin when it happened... althought I didn't do anything as just to activate the fake cron job feature to test the time of various cron jobs! (Now that you mention it)

I'll try it, thanks!

No go! I tried to replace the index.php but it's not working! This is a reason for concern if this is happening!

sanax,

Where you able to resolve this?
Sounds like something in your mysql crashed and needs repaired.

I am experiencing the same error.
RSS feed is the culprit, as I must have retained crons that went to non-existant boards.
Have no idea how to fisx this in phpmyadmin, and I have tried many things to no avail.

HELP!

Before you do anything make sure you have a backup.

Take a look at http://php.about.com/od/mysqladministration/qt/repair_mysql.htm for info on repairing.

I finally figured it out by emptying all sorts of feed files.
Repair didn't cut it in this case, for anyone else's future reference.
