WordPress – error in establishing database connection.

This happened today when trying to view the front end of a site.

1.  I  tried to access the wp-admin.

2. A message came up saying one or more tables needed to be repaired.

3. I followed instructions for adding define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);  to the config.php file.

4.  I tried again to load wp-admin and was offered the choice to have it attempt database repair.

5.  It failed.

6.  I went to phpMyAdmin and selected the wp_options table and initiated repair.

7.  Happy Ending.   All is well again.
