Yesterday I was having problems wherein I would rebuild and then the index would show a blank screen. Eventually I got this taken care of-- I couldn't really tell you how, it was all trial-and-error-- and then today when I tried to delete a blog and recreate it to help alleviate this and other problems, whenever I go to /cgi-bin/mt.cgi, I get this error message:

QUOTE

An error occurred:

Can't call method "id" on an undefined value at lib/MT/App/CMS.pm line 187.

What can I do to either fix this problem or salvage all of the posts that are sitting in there? This is horribly disastrous. I am fighting the urge to gouge out my own eyes. Okay, that might not be true, but I am freaking out for sure.

My blog is at www.keef.net, incidentally.

And the mt.cgi error message is at www.keef.net/cgi-bin/mt.cgi

Here's line 187 of CMS.pm and the lines immediately around it. 187 is boldfaced. I didn't do anything to this file; it just presented me with this error this morning.

$data[-1]{top_blog_selected} = 1
if $blog_id && $blog->id == $blog_id;

Ooh. I think that error message means the database is corrupted in some way.

Did you by chance run out of disk space on your server?

Well, it's possible-- I had a bunch of photos up last night, but I deleted them very shortly after I uploaded them; it was mostly just to give them to a friend of mine.

Am I screwed?

I realized that I am logged in, I just can't do anything-- when I log in, that's the error message that pops up.

Are you using Berkeley or MySQL?

I'm using MySQL.

Do you have access to a tool like phpMyAdmin where you can check your tables, and possibly run the REPAIR command on them?

I don't know. I don't think so.
