I am extremely new to mySQL (and the Linux environment all together). I have been building/maintaining a mySQL/PHP site. Today, the site began giving me errno 145 (cannot open file) errors. I found that meant I had at least one corrupt table, so I went into mySQL, found I had two corrupt tables and ran REPAIR TABLE. That fixed one of the tables, but the other one kept giving the error msg text as "69 when writing to datafile" as a result of REPAIR TABLE. So after much searching, I found a more extensive repair mechanism in myisamchk. However, everything I have found assumes I have this utility running. I am running mySQL 3.23.38, but when I type "myisamchk" my server claims "command not found". So (a) is there a different way to repair my table? (without having to wipe all data and rebuild the table -- it has a ton of records) or (b) how do I get this myisamchk utility running on my server so the command means something?? Also, I tried mysqld --myism-recover but it printed out a few lines, then said "ready for connections" and just sat there. I left it alone for a while thinking maybe it was just taking forever, but it never finished until I hit Ctrl C. ANY help would be much appreciated!!!
