Got error -1 from table handler

Got error -1 from table handler
I have imported the database into a freshly created table and now the category browser is working properly.

However, when I try to build the HTML pages, I get that error again:

"Got error -1 from table handler"

Since I started the database again from scratch, shouldn't this have fixed the corrupted table if this was the problem?

Also, I can't seem to be able to find the "isamchk" file on my server. Is there any way I could get a copy of it or something?

Thx

Hi,

This is definately a MySQL setup issue. Check your tables with isamchk/myisamchk, they should be in the same directory as your other mysql tools. Also, you may want to check your diskspace and hard disk for errors.

Cheers,

Alex

I managed to find the isamchk file, now how do I figure out how to use it exactly to fix any problems with the tables?

Before I go any further, is this supposed to fix something with the MySQL installation, or is it supposed to be fixing something in my links database?

The reason I am asking is because I already tried restoring an earlier version of the database (which should have worked) and it did not make a difference.

Thx

I FINALLY fixed this error message that kept popping up. I did some research on the Internet and found out that it is often caused by lack of hard drive space on a partition. We basically just deleted some of the unnecessary files from the partition and then we had to reset the server, which appears to have fixed the problems.
