Hi.
I'm currently in a quite embarrassing situation.
A site has been running for about half a year non-stop but now a problem arise when I tried to pack the database : there is a corrupted record dated 08-08-1999 which makes it impossible to start up the database.
I take it that this is a Zope 1.x site?
Yes
There should be a .old file left from the pack that you can revert to.
I should have been more precise - I have never packed the site. When I saw that Undo tab reported nothing to undo I thought (stupidly) that packing the site would help. It refused to pack (with some error I donät remember. Then I (even more stupidly) thought that Shutdown/Restart would help. It did not start up any more ;(
Were you backing up the site?
I think backing up would'nt have helped, as the file itself is corrupted. It could have bee a good idea to do regular Exports and backup them. ------------ Hannu
