Re: Unable to fetch topic list for this forum

the table has become corrupt you need to either repair the table with a tool like phpmyadmin or download the db plugin and press repair tables - http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=5984

Re: Unable to fetch topic list for this forum

Upgrading will be difficult if the topics table has crached. I recommend you install e.g. phpMyAdmin and do it from there instead.

Re: Unable to fetch topic list for this forum

Oh dear. Now, I can't upgrade, it says the data base is not one of the versions 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 (which it actually was)
Now, what can I do? I don't want to loose all the data of the forum...

Re: Unable to fetch topic list for this forum

you can repair the table with a tyool like phpmyadmin, you shouldn't upgrade until you have repaired really

Re: Unable to fetch topic list for this forum

I got myPhpAdmin running. The "punbbtopics" shows "in use". If I want to show the table, I get:
#1016 - Can't open file: 'punbbtopics.MYI'. (errno: 145)

Please, please help.

Re: Unable to fetch topic list for this forum

Try restarting MySQL. If you can't do that yourself, contact your host and tell them that one of your database tables has crashed and that you can't repair it because it is "in use".
