MySQL troubles, error on ALTER queries...

[Link14716]

It seems that on some alter queries, I end up getting an error. I get it everywhere, from the vB3 admin center to phpMyAdmin.... The error looks something like this:

From vB3:
An error occured while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 7
error desc: Error on rename of '.\vb3\shoutbox_posts.MYI' to '.\vb3\#sql2-854-12.MYI' (Errcode: 13)

EDIT: Nevermind, phpMyAdmin took this one. Sometimes I get the error im phpMyAdmin and can get it to work in vB3, sometimes it's the other way around I guess...

EDIT2: Now I have another query that is putting an error, but it won't work anywhere... help?

It appears you are running vb3 and using the shoutbox hack...vb3 is in beta and hacks aren't supported here yet.

Actually, I am creating a shoutbox hack, and I was altering the table. For the record, before I starting doing any hacks, I still got an error similar to that on a lot of alter queries.

Either way, the error has nothing to do with vB3, it has to do with MySQL ++++ing up.

Why would you attempt to build a hack on an unstable board?

I was hoping to help, but since you said you started with errors, I think the answer is obvious... Start with stable code.

What, you want me to re-install MySQL or something? vB3 has nothing to do with it, neither does PHP. I can put an ALTER code in to any program written in any programming language and get the same error.
