Scheduled post and cron

Hi,

I have problem with the future posts. Like others, In Manage Post i can see all Scheduled Entries. When current time passes the timestamp, all Scheduled Entries are not published, but still appear in dashboard, showing how much time has passed from the poststamp time to now.

I try to access wp-cron.php to force them to publish the post but nothing happens. it still shows “scheduled”.

i also check the fsockopen with a script from Otto on this thread but to no avail.

Then i check the error logs and i don’t see any errors from wp-cron. Instead, i found these errors which i think somehow related to my problem:

WordPress database error Table ‘pingtest.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = ‘a:288:{i:1200299523;a:1:{s:8:\\”do_pings\\”;a:1:{s:32:\\”40cd750bba9870f18aada2478b24840a\\”;
…
…

and this:

WordPress database error Table ‘pingtest.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE to_ping <> ” AND post_status = ‘publish’ made by do_all_pings

Since i don’t understand programming and mysql things, could someone give me a shed of light and a direction for fix it?

Thanks in advance.
