How to repair Joomla _session table.

Written by barb on July 16, 2012. Posted in Blog

A recently launched Joomla 2.5 site was down this morning with the following error:

Table ‘./xxxx_suffix/xxxx_session’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired SQL=INSERT INTO `xxxx_session` (`session_id`, `client_id`, `time`) VALUES (’87b1b689ed654ea16833779add58ee44′, 0, ‘1342450283’)

Repairing a database table is not difficult,  but the error causes panic for the clients and I am not always sitting at my computer….

I created a ScreenSteps tutorial on how to handle an error like this and share it.
