Hoping someone may be able to help.
I run a forum using Invision (IP.Board). I have named its MYSQL Database - IPB DB
I was trialing a component modification IBPWIKI mod, which runs its own (mediawiki) wiki DB, but adds an interface with my Forum and installs 5 tables in my IPB DB
I last used the mod about 4 months ago and the other day I went to uninstall it. But I found that the Wiki DB was corrupted - maybe when my host was moving server - about a month ago.
I have reloaded a wiki DB backup, and the wiki DB looks fine (I removed the lines in the MediaWiki local sttings file which allows the wiki to run independently from the Invision Forum
I then have tried to drop the tables in my IPB DB, but I am getting this errror
SQL query: DROP TABLE `ipb_ipbwiki_conf`
MySQL said: #1051 - Unknown table 'ipb_ipbwiki_conf'
Got error 1 from storage engine
I also got this error initially when I tried to drop the tables when the DB was corrupt.
I also tried the Repair Function in phpadmin
I have asked on the IPBWIKI forum and it was suggested that I re-run the wiki -Installer (interface with IPB) - but it fails with the same "Got error 1 from storage engine"
I have also asked on the Invision Support Forum but no one can help
Does anyone have any idea how I can clean this up.
What I want to do is completely remove the wiki.
My concern now is that my IPB DB is messed up.
Details are:
Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.6
MySQL version 4.1.22-standard
Architecture x86_64
Operating system Linux
thanks
