There is a corrupt MySQL database table. ocPortal needs this table to function.

How did this happen?

Something outside the control of ocPortal caused this error, such as a hard disk fault, a power surge, a power cut, or a forced computer reset.

How do I fix it?

Your web host will almost certainly provide a hosting control panel with a tool called 'phpMyAdmin' (it may be called something else, such as 'Database management').
  1. Access / Log in to this tool
  2. Make sure you are in the database that ocPortal uses
  3. Tick (check) the table referenced in the error message.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
  5. In the 'With selected' option list, choose 'Repair table'.
  6. You should see the page reload with a message stating the repair was successful.

In in doubt or if the table will not repair, contact your web host.


Become a fan of ocPortal on Facebook or add me as a friend.
