mediawiki / mysql error

Can anyone help with this message as MediaWiki tries to access the database. My wiki was working, then I took the machine down for a few months, and I've been over this config for a week trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm running mediawiki 1.8.4 and have lots of data in mysql 5.0

The error on my wiki page is ...

---
Database error
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "Job::pop". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wikidb.ab_job' doesn't exist (localhost)

Any help much appreciated.

Or ... can I remove the LocalSettings.php file and reconfigure/seteup my wiki pointing to the same database, would that wipe it out?

I see lots of scripts in maintenance also, would any of these help out?

I think you can safely run update.php and that may help.

I'd probably consider updating the version.
