Major Error on website and admin panel. Urgent!

[Redsea]

I now receive the following error when I try and open my online store and also my admin control panel. How can I fix this problem?


126 Incorrect key file for table './HARshop/whos_online.MYI'; try to repair it
in:
[delete from whos_online where time_last_click < '1172789500' or (time_entry=time_last_click and time_last_click < '1172790160')]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.


Everything was fine yesterday, and when I went to access things this morning, I am greeted with this.

TIA Malcolm

I'd go into phpMyAdmin ... select the whos_online table and try the Repair in the dropdown (from Operations tab) and see if it works ...

Thanks for that, I finally found the repair option and was just on my way to post it here and got your reply. Timing is everything isn't it lol. It's all good now thank goodness.

Thanks for the update and glad to hear that this worked for you!

Make sure this does not become a typical issue on your site ... once in a blue moon ... but not more often ...

Hi! Just wondering what would cause this and why it should not become a typical issue. I'm helping someone with their site that they just moved to a new host. This has never happened to them before and all of a sudden it did this morning.

This is usually due to a MySQL crash ...

MySQL crashes are a bad thing ... and you do not want this to happen ...
