Hi folks, All my blogs suddenly come up with the below error: "WordPress database error: [Got error 12 from storage engine] SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM wp_posts WHERE post_date < '2007-06-07 04:01:41' AND post_date != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND post_status = 'publish' GROUP BY YEAR(post_date), MONTH(post_date) ORDER BY post_date DESC" Anyone knows what is this and how do I rectify the problem? Thanks
Error 12 is a memory allocation problem. Do you have access to the server, if so restart the mySQL service otherwise contact your hosting provider.
No, you'll need to contact your host. You could always try cache with wp-cache to minimise load on the server and hopefully prevent this from happening in the future, but if you are on a shared server you do run the risk of somebody using too many resources and causing problems for other sites on the same server.
Thank you very much. So the best alternative is to call the host. And if they cannot do anything about it, its best to change host?
Did you recently update wordpress or change to a very old template or something? wht did you do that the error poped up?
Thank for your post humm. I contacted the host and everything is sorted out now. They just had to reset the servers. Cheers
