Hello,

I'm in a bit of predicament.

I unfortunately was in a position where I ungracefully shutdown my mysql server. After restarting it, I'm finding that MediaWiki reports "Database error: Internal error" after any attempt to save an edited wiki page. It's worth noting that all the changes seem to be accepted, in that if I visit the page the changes I supplied during the edit are displayed.

I'm trying to debug this problem, for while it seems cosmetic at first, it's certainly disturbing to my users. Further, I want to learn from this and figure out how to recover from this...not to mention figure out where the darn mysql/mediawiki logs are. [[Special:Log]] tells me absolutely nothing. Not one log entry.

I am running mysql 4.0.21, MediaWiki 1.4.0, Apache 2.0.52 (apache and mysql stuff comes from XAMPP 1.49a). I can provide more info about this upon request. I'd also provide pertinent logs...if I could find anything.

I'm hunting around meta.wikimedia.org and have yet to find anything that addresses. I also have tried several times to search this email list's archive via a google mechanism and have yet to succeed (I can't find any of my old emails from several weeks/months ago when I search for "Matt England"...even though I can find *some* emails...).

Thanks for any help. Like I mentioned, I'm kind of in a tight spot on this one.
