Hi, Sorry for misunderstanding, I thought you were using and administrating your own server... You can ask your hosting company support to look for a problem with thoses tables, as they have direct access on their servers. When I encountered my problem, I remember I created my wiki database again (empty, then), I imported my SQL dump and I copied my backed up ibdata* and ib_logfile* instead of the one used by mysql on my server... This is easy only if you are the only database to use the InnoDB engine, I have no clue if there are many InnoDB databases on the same mysql server... Hope it help. Regards
Jules

Hi, ssh access? No idea what it is, but if you tell me, I may be able to ask my webhost to help me. Maiahost.com has been very helpful all these while, unlike my previous one and I am quite confident they will be very willing to help if they know how.

Hi, I backed up the table using phpMyAdmin.
So you had some .sql files as a result... I had such a problem a few months ago:
- my server crashed
- I managed to access it in rescue, and to back up my databases (mysql
dump and a backup of /var/lib/mysql/wiki/*).
- when I restored my server, and my databases (with a mysql import of my
sql backups, I couldn't access my wiki tables correctly, this trouble was linked with the use of InnoDB engine (this engine uses files in your database directory under /var/lib/mysql AND some files in /var/lib/mysql/,
ibdata*,
ib_logfile*) but I can't remember the messages I got at this time...
Does it mean that I cannot import? Guess I need to delete them then, since they are occupying
quite
a
lot of space. By the way, I am using 1.14 and it is still using
InnoDB.
Do you have a ssh access on your server?

Hi,
Did you backed up your tables using mysqldump, or a tool such as phpMyAdmin? Following my own experience, and because wiki tables use InnoDB (at
least
'till 1.12), importing tables can lead to data access problems.

Do the tables have the same prefix?
