    “WordPress database error: [Incorrect key file for table ‘./d60506324/wp_postmeta.MYI’; try to repair it]”

    Can anyone explain to my why I’m getting this error? I haven’t done anything but add two new posts and then this shows up on my website and in the wp admin.

    Thanks

    This is a problem with the database that holds all your content.

    If you have access to phpMyAdmin, you may be able to repair the database from that.

    Otherwise, you should contact your host and ask them to fix it.

    You have Netfirms huh?
    Did you use the one click installer?

    try this:

    1) go into phpmyadmin
    2) click on the database name on the left column (in this case it should be d60506324)
    3) click “select all” on the bottom of the table that is show to mark all the check boxes within your database structure
    4) click on the drop down that says “with selected”
    5) choose “repair table”

    report back here if that doesn’t fix the problem.
