Forum help needed

SQL Error : 1016 Can't open file: 'phpbb_sessions.MYI' (errno: 145)

Hi,

I'm getting the above error message when trying to access my phpBB forum. I know zero about SQL. Please could someone advise?

thanks

 

Save file as fixtables.php, upload to your root directory. Then run http://my.sitename.com/phpbb/fixtables.php?PX42m3=1 or you can manually repair and optimize your database.

 

thanks, i tried and i got this error message

Now checking and repairing table phpbb_sessions ... File './phpbb/phpbb_sessions.MYD' not found (Errcode: 13)

my error has now changed to the below error

SQL Error : 1105 File './phpbb/phpbb_sessions.MYD' not found (Errcode: 13)

INSERT INTO phpbb_sessions (session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, session_admin) VALUES ('1785aff9692d52cbb2032a6db7b878fe', -1, 1226517393, 1226517393, '95fec8ed', 0, 0, 0)

Line : 189
File : sessions.php

 

Try running it again.. Later. If it still won't fix the problem, your database is corrupted and you need to manually repair and optimize the tables if possible.

 

I would ask at the official phpbb support forum if it were me

 

Download a fresh copy of phpbb from phpbb.com and reinstall on your server.
