# Problems Since Database Failure

 * Yesterday the database for my site failed for some reason, I began getting a #
   1033 error message when I checked my tables using phpMyAdmin, the site itself
   just redirected to the install page.
 * My host company seem to have repaired the database, or at least partially. But
   I can’t access the admin panel, or even the log in part I now get this message:
 * You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
 * Some of the pages on the site still work, but many give me this error message:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function php_e() in /home/editor/public_html/wp-
   content/themes/The-Morningstarr/index.php on line 30
 * What is that actually telling me? And how the hell can I now log in?
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * Do you have a database backup from before the failure?

 * Yes, is that what I need? Is the database still not being right causing these
   problems?

 * It sounds like more than just your database was affected. Your permissions may
   now be wrong and WordPress files may be missing/corrupted. Contact your web host
   to find out exactly what happened. You may need to repair/restore your database
   and reinstall WordPress.

 * I’ve backed up to two days ago and everything seems fine now.
 * I’ve no idea what happened, the database and all other databases I have for other
   stuff just went haywire. They upgraded the MySQL to the latest version and some
   of the tables seem to have survived, but not all of them.
 * They used the backup and it seems to have solved everything, good job I had some
   backups.
