A slight case of panic this morning, The table that provides the content for this site, somehow got corrupted. Thankfully a back up was on hand if the worst came to the worst, but before dropping, re-creating and re-populating I decided to see if there was an easier way to fix up the following error message: [code]SQL desc `tableName` failed : Can’t open file: ‘tableName.MYD’. (errno: 145)[/code] A little googling told me that the table was corrupt and as a result I should attempt to repair it. So I ssh’d in to my server and from the console logged into mysql: [code]mysql -u dbUserName -p dbName;[/code] Then simply ran the following instruction: [code]repair table tableName;[/code] And hey presto the table was fixed again and the site was up and running! Panic over! Here are some background info links:
