My site is not that active. I have less than 100 users, and I do have people register successfully, just not that often, only a couple a month.
So it seems to me that someone is trying to 'ping' the database or something. Maybe someone can explain to me what actually causes the error. Because to me it does not make sense that I get this error message
Code:
Invalid SQL:
SHOW COLUMNS FROM user LIKE 'username';
MySQL Error : Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/mysqltmp/#sql_1851_0.MYI'; try to repair it
for Usernames that are not registered!! Like these, all received in the last 24 hours
Code:
IP Address : 118.101.4.158

IP Address : 91.207.8.157

So it's not like someone is trying to register and failing. They are trying to do SOMETHING that seems to set off this error. It seems like bot or spammer activity or something.
