I had the same problem. In my case I hadn’t disabled all the plugins first. I renamed the plugins directory, copied the default plugins directory to my server and managed to get in. Now I need to add each plugin back and see which one broke my website.

I had a similar problem after moving my website to a new hosting plan. In the end I had to copy my backed up WordPress files to the server but I left the database blank.

I then ran the install program (install.php) which populated the database with tables.

Using phpMyAdmin I deleted a table one at a time from the database and imported the corresponding table from a database backup. I did this until I imported the table that was causing the error message. This was the wp_options table. I’n not sure which part of the table was causing a problem.

I then deleted all the tables, repeated the install program and re-imported all the tables except wp_options.

The drawback to this was I had to re-configure my sidebar modules but with the site being down nearly three weeks I was just grateful to have something to work with.

Cracked it !

I’ve had the same problem. My web hosting techies wrote a little script similiar to the one above and it connects to the database. They even changed the password of the user just in case I was doing something wrong.

I thought it might be something to do with the same problem mentioned by jamesdiss but the script doesn’t through any error messages.

I’m really stumped now. And very frustrated.
