Yes I agree that the mysql database might have been corrupted. (I hate databases!) There ARE some repair tools (mostly front ends to ones built in to MySQL itself) where you can repair it. It might repair itself too. Unfortunately, I am very poor with MySQL so not the best person to get instructions from. I have had success with running the RML command at 2:00 AM every day to back up the database and then have a script that "rsyncs" it over to another computer (through the Internet!). I had to even restore back to one of these backups recently. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
