Here's an interesting one, I made one entry to my blog this morning, then a couple hours later I tried to make another one. It previews just fine, but when I try to save it I get this error:



With the only option to close or go back.

I assume that somehow it thinks there's an entry #648, but in rebuilding the indexes and listing/editing the entries, it only goes up to the one successful post from a couple of hours ago.

Any tips on how to fix this?

More info:

Looking at the db in phpMyAdmin, there is no row 648. It stops at 647. I find no other instance for why MT thinks that there's already an entry for 648.

This is MT v 2.64. I did *nothing* between the last successful post and the current state where I cannot make a new entry.

this usually indicates a problem with one or more of the MySQL tables. Select all the tables with phpMyAdmin and run a CHECK operation on them. If you get anything other than OK or Table OK, run a REPAIR operation on those tables. And then while you're at it, run an OPTIMIZE operation on all the tables after you're done.

Yes, that did it - on Check it reported errors in both Comments and Entries. Repair did the trick nicely.

Thanks much!
