errors running 3.5.4

[niteflyer]

I am running 3.5.4 with cmps 2.1.0.
Recently my server folks did some upgrading and i assume to php5 and mysql5.anyway my site was unreachable until they did something on their end to make it work.

Now i am getting all sorts of errors regarding the word "phrase".

I decided to finally do my upgrade to 3.8.4 in hopes that maybe it would fix my problems however i am running into problems even there.the main problem right now is that when i go to admincp to turn off my forum as per intruction i get the following error and can't get to the page to turn it off:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT varname, text
FROM phrase
WHERE phrasetypeid = 5000 AND
languageid IN(-1, 0, 1)
ORDER BY languageid ASC;

MySQL Error : Table './xxxxxxxxx_forum/phrase' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
Error Number : 145

it seems there is a problem with mysql but have no idea how to fix it so i can proceed with upgrade and/or stop the zillion errors of the same type to my email box every time someone posts.

Does the forum HAVE to be turned off to upgrade or is there a way for this ignorant sole to temp fix it so i can proceed? Or should i delete my whole forum and start with a new one,,,i hate that cause i have had this forum since 2006

thanks in advance for any help as i am at wits end


edit,,,sorry i just noticed this should have been posted in the 3.5 section but since i had 3.8 upgrade on my mind i clicked the wrong forum,,sorry

Go to Maintenance > Repair/Optimize tables and select the table that is marked as crashed (in this case the phrase table) and run repair/optimize on it. You may have to do this a couple of times until you get the OK.

thanks for the reply however i have done this so many times i cannot count them. the only thing that happens is it tells me to do what you just said and what i had just done,lol

here's what i get as an error when doing the repair: Error: Table upgrade required. Please do "REPAIR TABLE `phrase`" to fix it!

If you can't repair it via the vbulletin script, you may need to do it one of the ways mentioned in here - 3 ways to repair a database

You'll need to talk to your host then and see if they can do anything about it. Otherwise, you may have to revert to a backup.
