Once again, it was time to update (this time from 5.x to 6.x). I have my Fantastico auto-install my updates, so despite having changed the layout and files a small bit, I had always just clicked the update button and installed a new layout.

This time, that didn't happen.

The site http://www.artistsforumworkshop.org/_____/ has exploded, and I was hoping anyone had a suggestion? A few of the error messages (which make up the whole of the page) I shall give to you here, but do look at the actual page:

Obviously, I ignorantly just installed the update without much thought, but this has worked for me before. Was it a module, or the theme? I can't even find the theme now. It was the one with the hummingbird and when you rolled your mouse over the hummingbird its position would elevate slightly.

Am I being ignored for being an idiot? ;D Eheh, probably.

It's just that this has worked for me before. *sigh*

My users are so pissed... ^^;;

Do you have backups? If so, restore your site from backup. Fantasico updates are so discouraged because of this type of thing. Fantastico provides a fine service for initial install but updating a Drupal site is so dependent on the site in question and modules and themes installed that it is chancy.

Assuming you have a backup, next time run through the update process on a test site.

If you don't.. it becomes more difficult. Take a backup right now and only use that to troubleshoot/test. You could start with clearing your cache (truncate from cache; ) to see if that helps.

Most of the errors seem to stem from aggregator and custom theme functions. Disable aggregator in the database (system table I think) and make sure you are on a default theme such as Blue Marine or Garland.

The message implies your cache table is dead, or at least not updated correctly. This is a bit painful.
You may be able to re-create it via sql (PHPMyAdmin or something) if you have a good version to compare the schema to. It would take a little surgery.

Can anyone copy & post the appropriate CREATE TABLE line needed here?

Not sure what else may have gone wrong though, there could be more of the same in other areas.
