error 145 = table corruption

looks like WHT forum's search table is corrupted.. you can fix it by using repair.php in vB's extra zip folder or running myisamchk on the search table (personally i perfer running a myisamchk on the entire vB database just to be sure)

too bad i checked this post after i posted it in WebHostingTalk Lounge :(

I got the same error while using search feature

well Matt must of fixed it :)

I'm still having lots of problems. The forum pages load sloooooowly and I'm getting lots of "document contains no data" error messages. In fact, I'm getting those errors now and having trouble posting this message. Traceroutes from me to WHT look normal, so I assume it's some other problem.

from looks of it.. it's server related :rolleyes:

maybe Matt has setup mysql to be backed up around this time???

Deb posting your post 4 times is really annoying , i think we all get the picture


Joe

She posted it numerous times because of the problem. I was having the same problem posting too. The Egg Nog thread I posted twice in a row because of the server problems. I ultimately edited the second to not look like a double post.
;) Quick thinking on my part. LOL

Sorry about the multiple posts -- every time I tried to post I got another "Document contains no data" error message, and didn't think my message had been sent. Right now things are better, and faster.

I apologise for the recent problems with WebHostingTalk, high load averages and corrupt mySQL tables caused several problems. I believe I just about fixed most of the major glitches and at least for the rest of the day things should be back to normal.

Yeah the forum has been getting slow.
