phpmyadmin says table “in use” (mysql)

Written by iassael on 20/05/2015. Posted in computing, general

This message means that your table needs repair, however, the option for repair through the phpmyadmin interface is not available.

Therefore, you need to open a terminal or ssh and run the following commands:

1) cd /var/lib/mysql/DATABASE (where DATABASE is the one containing the table that needs repair)

2) myisamchk –safe-recover TABLE (where TABLE is the table you are trying to repair)

Your table will be fixed in a few minutes!

    Does this work for InnoDB style table storage?
