I have seen this recently also.  If you have your config.root backed 
up you can quit Frontier, move in the config.root backup and things 
should be okay.

Alternatively, you can:

1. Quit Frontier and make a backup of the config.root file 
(/Applications/Frontier/Guest Databases/apps).  Yes, the config.root 
is dysfunctional, but it is easy to back up and if something goes 
wrong from here you have this version from which you can work.
2. Double-click on the config.root file in the apps directory to 
start Frontier and open the config.root table.
3. Navigate the following path in the config.root table: 
config/mainresponder/domains/default/sitetree/directory.
4. Click on the structure table and press the delete key to delete it.
5. Restart Frontier, the structure table is rebuilt and everything 
should work correctly.
