Error - 1016 - Can't open file, help please

[dmiles]

Today, when I try to log in to our site (www.patriciawulff.com), I get this error:

 

1016 - Can't open file: 'sessions.MYI'. (errno: 145)

 

select value from sessions where sesskey = '1a0193d30a975228feee371fd6d52d30' and expiry > '1125895653'

 

[TEP STOP]

 

Everything was fine yesterday - can anyone help? If you can help, please include instructions on how to repair the problem.

 

Thank you,

David

search the knowledge base, this is a very easy fix, a corrupted database file which can be repaired via phpmyadmin, etc.

from phpmyadmin look down the list of tables on the left until you find sessions (that's the error you got).

 

Select it then look at the tabs at the top of the window. Choose Operations and click Repair Table (It's under Table maintenance).

Thank you for your response, but I do not see the options that you direct me to in Phpadmin.

Here are .gifs of what I see in phpadmin:

 

 

 

Thanks,

No offense, but this is NOT an easy fix if someone doesn't know how to fix the problem! We all have to learn sometime and by some method and it is through the good graces of experts like you that we can become educated, but, PLEASE, it is not always an easy fix.

Thank you

Try running this query. I just had to do it with mine and it fixed the problem.

 

REPAIR TABLE `sessions`
