Long time no communicado, folks.
Today I had client with a high-traffic site contact us with an urgent message that their site was down. Instead of a homepage, this error was displayed.
===================
Error Number: 145
Table ‘./***/exp_security_hashes’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired
INSERT INTO exp_security_hashes (date, ip_address, hash) VALUES(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), ‘24.234.252.52’, ‘8522a0ed21c35af43f707cd7dfba01ef3552f0f8’)
Filename: libraries/Functions.php
Line Number: 1606
===================
We fixed the issue quickly enough, but what causes this error and is there a way to put a mechanism in place to prevent it from happening again?
Apologies. This was originally posted in the legacy ExpressionEngine 1.x forum. Sorry for the double-post.
