I did a RESTART SERVER as I do often but this time the results are a SQL CRASH.
As I now have a Dedicated Server at Godaddy they are ZERO help.
The crash info seems to be presented in depth instead of the blog.

But this seems to be the gist of it

/ Table './kick/serendipity_config' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

Going into PHPmyadmin I find the table EMPTY and cannot find any REPAIR option.
I do have daily DB backups on the server but doing that I lose about 5 hours of article work this morning... Is repair possible and how do you do it?
And to apply a backup, is that under IMPORT or something else?

Help please!

Thanx RJ

If you have phpmyadmin you can select this table and use the repair.

thanx! It tells me the table is empty and I see no REPAIR option.
I think I may have clicked the EMPTY button expecting more options than just it emptying

So I assume my only option is to use the backup.sql file?

In phpmyadmin...
If I bring up all the tables, then click the box for serendidity_config which now says IN USE, and then import the dbfile. Will it just import that one table I need? Is that what I should do? The whole SQL file is 35 megs.

thanx RJ

Did you do the backup with phpmyadmin? If so, I would import it into a _new_ DB, export only the config table and import this into you blog.
