When I try to connect to my blog I get:

/ Table './acampbell/serendipity_entries' is marked as crashed and should be repaired


Not sure what to do here - should I upload everything again?

Your provider's MySQL host or database had a problem. Obviously your provider should fix it; contact them to tell them what the problem is and get them moving. At the very least, they should be able to restore a backup.

Meanwhile, you may be able to repair the table and get Serendipity running again.

Repairing MySQL tables in cPanel

Other software has the same problem; try accessing your database through phpMyAdmin, if your provider includes it. You should have the option to repair the table, or even the whole database.

Thanks for the reply. I can't see any way to repair things on the MySQL database page so I've emailed the provider for help.

They've now fixed it and it's working again.

Glad it's working!
