Deleted spammer, now my front page won't open (3 posts)

    How about a story of a problem encountered and repaired BEFORE the support question was asked on this forum?

    I was getting a serious error message when I try to open the front page of my WPMU site:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: graceful_fail() in /home/blogpeo1/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 245

    What happened was this: I was doing routine maintenance and deleting a bunch of spam blogs. When I was done, I noticed that my main site had picked up two users who I never authorized to be there. I searched for one of these users and tried to delete him, and that's when I got the error message.

    I checked the file in question and saw that the line referred to blogs being archived or suspended.

    Apparently, when I tried to delete this rouge user, WPMu thought I was declaring the main admin site as spam. Wicked huh?

    So, I opened up one of my other blogs, signed in as admin, and unsuspended myself.

    Now, to figure out to un-invite these spammers.

    I am having similar trouble.. All I want to do is setup a test site for the Student Ministries department at my church.. in the settings I changed my front page to my about page (http://geeks4god.web44.net) and my blog page to my news (http://geeks4god.web44.net/news/) and since then the front page won't load any sugestions on how to get this to be fixed.

    Thank You So Much
