This Monday morning greeted me with the discovery that most (though, curiously not all*) of the many Omeka sites I have created appear no longer to work.
The error messages all appear to focus on parameter exceptions within Zend, and include a message, repeated twice, like this:
Zend_Session::start() - /home2/artinte3/public_html/quattrocentoitalia/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php(Line:1305): Error #2 count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable
/home2/artinte3/public_html/quattrocentoitalia/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php(Line:1305): Error #2 count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable
followed by a readout of twenty lines of code.
As context, it appears that my account on BlueHost was quite recently migrated to a new server, and I wonder if that move might have created the circumstances under which each sites databases no longer satisfied Zend’s parameters?
I’ve been in touch with my host provider, and theoretically they are looking into it, but I thought I would reach out to the community to see if anyone else has had the sudden collapse of several sites at once? I appreciate any and all suggestions!
All best

*The sites that appear to work just fine all are more recent in terms of their creation and version number. All of these sites are Omeka 2.6.1 or above.
