An odd error in MySQL.. (thread.MYI?)

[Velocd]

It seems some strange outside interference has caused my forum to temporarily shut down.

I am receiving a strange database error that says:
Database error in vBulletin 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT threadid,forumid,title,replycount,postusername,dat eline,views,postuserid
FROM thread
WHERE visible=1 AND open<>10
ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 8

mysql error: Can't open file: 'thread.MYI'. (errno: 145)

mysql error number: 1016

I'm not sure what it is referring to when it says "thread.MYI"

Anyone have any ideas? The most recent thing I've done was create a new subdomain on my server, but I hardly see how this could be causing a problem. I was browsing a thread on my site at school today and it loaded just fine, but sometime between 7 hours ago and now this error occurred.

Thanks if you can help. ;)

Never mind, just noticed a thread that hopefully will solve my problem.

Ironic this error just happened with someone recently as well.

I do have one question though, how can a thread table become corrupted by simply viewing threads or regular browsing on the forum?

I had this problem on localhost yesteday. But it was after hacking a file so i thought nothing of it. How odd :S

By any chance does your server use CPanel? We have a theory that the latest version of CPanel is updating MySQL on a daily basis. Unfortunately if your database is being written to when this occurs, then you could get database corruption.

Find out if you are using CPanel and if so, what version it is. Also find out what the update schedule is set to.

Cpanel 6.4.0-EDGE Build 1

MySQL 4.0.12

Webhost Manager Update preferences unknown-- how do I find this info in Cpanel?

I just got this MYI error again yesterday, and a few of my threads were lost as well. Strange error..

Webhost Manager Update preferences unknown-- how do I find this info in Cpanel?This info is not in CPnael. It's in WebHost Manage which reuires root access to the server. If you are on a shared server you'll need to contact your host about this.

Can't open file: 'thread.MYI'. (errno: 145)

Run this query:

REPAIR TABLE thread

so has anyone actually found a fix for this that doesnt require doing every night?

1. Read this thread:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=69803

2. Quick fix:

Try using mysqldump to create a sql backup your database - mysqldump guide at http://www.sitepoint.com/article/678

Then create a new empty database name and import the mysql sql backup back into the empty database, and edit config.php to point to the new database

Also take a read of

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Corrupted_MyISAM_tables.html

and

Restoring a large database is a problem. phpMyAdmin times out and never update the entire database if it is large.
