I get this error.

144 Table './_joomla/#__muscol_artists' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed SQL=SELECT * FROM #__muscol_artists WHERE letter = "" ORDER BY letter+0<>0 ASC, letter+0, letter,class_name LIMIT 0, 20

How can this be fixed?

I hear you.. this is the MySQL structure for the artists table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__muscol_artists` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`artist_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`image` varchar(127) NOT NULL,
`review` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`letter` varchar(1) NOT NULL,
`class_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`related` varchar(63) NOT NULL,
`keywords` varchar(512) NOT NULL,
`added` datetime NOT NULL,
`hits` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
`country` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`picture` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`metakeywords` text NOT NULL,
`metadescription` text NOT NULL,
`city` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`years_active` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`url` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`genre_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`tags` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`cover` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `genre_id` (`genre_id`),
KEY `user_id` (`user_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

    looks like the DB table crashed for some reason.. if you can access phpMyAdmin interface, there's a "restore" option that usually works.

    Hi,

    This kind of MySQL table fails are really not caused by MC (it could have occured in any other table, really). If repair doesn't work, you will need to restore it.. (delete it and re-create it)

    do you have a backup copy of that table?

    No backup. I'd settle for an empty working table. :D

    I got the same result. I couldn't drop the table, so I emptied it. Now it works. I just have to re-add all the groups again. That's better than re-adding all of the albums. Thanks for your help.

    It did it again. I think it has something to do with putting "." in artist names. Soon as I clear names out, it works again (have to keep adding artist names again).

    Table keeps crashing. Even after I dropped it and recreated it. Tired of restarting over 25 pages of albums multiple times.

    The problem is creating the .TMD file.

    hello,

    if it keeps crashing then it means there's some problem in the DB itself for sure. what I would do is to make a backup copy of this DB. then, create another DIFFERENT db, and import the backup copy. finally you can erase the old one, and give the new one the same name that the old one had...

    I sent in a support ticket. I don't think backing up and importing it will fix it since its the same table. I dropped that table and re-created it. Same issue. The problem is it's unable to create the tempfile .TMD.
