MojoPortal has been working wonderfully for me for years.  Thank-you.

Today, however, I am perplexed by the error message below when attempting to just visit my site - www.kbearle.com.  I checked to be sure that the db exists and is still working, the connection string is up to date and no other changes have been made since the last time I visited the site a few weeks ago.  What key is not present?  TKey key seems to be the reference, but no search in the forums came up with such a reference.  

Thanks in advance for providing some pointers on where to look to resolve this issue that is keeping my site from loading.

MojoPortal version 2.3.3.6 as seen in the schemaversion table --SELECT * FROM `mp_schemaversion`

InnoDBVersion 5.7.28 as seen by running : SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%version%"

collation on the tables is: utf_general_ci, then ran this sql:

SELECT * FROM performance_schema.session_variables WHERE VARIABLE_NAME IN ( 'character_set_client', 'character_set_connection', 'character_set_results', 'collation_connection' ) ORDER BY VARIABLE_NAME;

and got this result table:

VARIABLE_NAME                VARIABLE_VALUE

character_set_client            utf8mb4

character_set_connection   utf8mb4

character_set_results          utf8mb4

collation_connection           utf8mb4_unicode_ci

and these others showed up when running: SHOW SESSION VARIABLES LIKE 'character\_set\_%'
