[wp-hackers] MySQL database issue

[Ian Douglas]

Hi Mike,

In reality, I'm on the graphic design side, not a developer. But I'm on this list because I'm trying to learn more about Wordpress, which I've been playing with for a couple of years. It is true that I've been getting great advice from this list, and it's true that some of it I don't know what to do with. But I get pointers for things to try to explore. I'm trying to learn, but it's true I find the detail difficult sometimes.

Happily, I'm not the primary tech guy for our project. A friend who deals with servers has been helping me on and off. He told me there was corruption in the MySQL database and gave me this output. I just passed it along in my question in case anyone knew anything. But I'll pass your message back to him. I guess he doesn't have too much experience in MySQL.

I'm glad to hear it's not an error.

Forgive us these stumbling beginnings …. It's true we need specialised help, actually in several directions.

best wishes,
ian
