Disappearing icons has nothing to do with the SQL tables. The images
referred to by the skin and JS all exist, and are all readable by the
web server?

Can you point me at a source of info on "repairing all tables" you referred
to in the previous post? I have lost the small icons to the editing window
edit bar and need to rebuild something, so thought I might try the
rebuilding of tables you're referring to.
I've asked several times about what ties these icons into the application
but nobody has offered any ideas, so I'm ready to try something new.

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Re: "user_groups" database corruption
Alright so this is my problem. My site (
sauwiki.com) is down because some
of the tables cannot be read. I've pretty much lost hope of getting them
back.
I did figure out how to do a repair on all tables, but some of the tables
could not be found.
Apparently the newer versions of mediawiki do not use the 'cur' table
anymore, but mine still has it because I've been upgrading for about two
years.
I can see all my pages still in this database, how can I get them out, and
put them in a new installation of mediawiki?

I'm not sure I will be able to fix the
databases on iPowerWeb, I am
now trying things on my on Linux box.
I was able to export the database into a really long sql statement,
but it appeared to inly get the first five tables, among them 'cur' and
'archive'.
I see that the latest version of mediawiki (1.5.2) uses 'text' instead
of 'cur', so it won't restore. For some reason I am having trouble
installing older versions.
If I open the sql file in a text editor (its about 1 meg), I can see
that all the content from my wiki is still there. So I ask, what is
the best way to attempt restoring it?
Thanks,
Brian

It would appear that the index file for the user_groups table has
been deleted or has wrong permissions.
I tried to run check tables on it, but it
didn't seem to have any
effect.
If you run myisamchk from a shell prompt, it should tell you it
can't access the table.
I found this person... suggestion was to ask the
host about fixing
the database, but when I contacted iPowerweb they told me their
databases were working fine, and that they didn't support third
party software.
Tell them you're not using third-party software; tell them you have
a database table called "user_groups" that has a problem. Don't
mention MediaWiki at all -- it's an MySQL problem!
If you're lucky, they can fix that file's permissions. If you're
slightly less lucky, they may restore it from a recent backup. There
may be a way of re-creating it if the corresponding .MYD and .FRM
files are intact.
If the file is simply gone, consider some other service provider!
