Database repair: wp_options

  • Trouble as I updated to 2.6.

    My wp_options table states that it is “In Use” and when I attempt to repair I get the following message:

    File ‘./blog/wp_options.MYD’ not found (Errcode: 13)

    What is the wp_options.MYD file? and How might I fix this?

    Thanks,
    Michael

  • I’ve got the same problem but I haven’t upgraded anything. I have auto-upgrade installed on my blog at https://uberscifigeek.com. (redirect from https://ravenkai.com/geek) It’s been running without problems since the last upgrade. I’ve not installed anything or turned on any plugins recently but my hosting service, Yahoo, went down for a time yesterday and I lost my blog and forum. When it came back online a couple hours later, everything seemed fine. I got onto the blog to post a new article. I pressed ‘preview’ and as I read the preview in a new window, found a typo. I went back to the entry, made the change and clicked ‘save’. I switched back over to the ‘preview’ and continued to read. When I closed it and went back to the edit window, I had the ‘famous 5 minute install’ page instead of my blog.

    I used ftp to grab a copy of my directory and then ran the install. I get hundreds of errors but the most frequent one is “WordPress database error: [File ‘./geek/wp_options.MYD’ not found (Errcode: 13)]”
    I’ve found very little mentioned about it in websearches.

    When I go into phpMyAdmin, I get the ‘in use’ status and error code.

    No one seems to have any recommendation except for this quickie repair https://paulstamatiou.com/2006/05/31/how-to-quickie-repair-mysql-tables-in-phpmyadmin but it returns the same error message.

    Any help would be great. Please!

    if you cannot repair tables in mysql for any reason, you need to contact your host

    I am waiting to hear back from them. Thanks for the response though. I’m seeing a lot of these errors reported but few recommendations. I appreciate hearing back from someone.

    I have the exact same problem but with wp_comments. I’m waiting to hear back also.

    Looks like Yahoo! fixed it. Everything is back to normal.

    I’m having the exact same problem with the wp_comments and yahoo, what did you do to contact yahoo to fix the problem?

    You can get their support number by logging in to your small business account, and going to help. There should be a contact us link on the right. Click that and go through their menu screens. Eventually, it will give you a phone number to call. After talking to them, it was fixed within 48 hours.
