 * Trouble as I updated to 2.6.
 * My wp_options table states that it is “In Use” and when I attempt to repair I
   get the following message:
 * File ‘./blog/wp_options.MYD’ not found (Errcode: 13)
 * What is the wp_options.MYD file? and How might I fix this?
 * Thanks,
    Michael

 * I’ve got the same problem but I haven’t upgraded anything. I have auto-upgrade
   installed on my blog at [http://uberscifigeek.com](http://uberscifigeek.com).(
   redirect from [http://ravenkai.com/geek](http://ravenkai.com/geek)) It’s been
   running without problems since the last upgrade. I’ve not installed anything 
   or turned on any plugins recently but my hosting service, Yahoo, went down for
   a time yesterday and I lost my blog and forum. When it came back online a couple
   hours later, everything seemed fine. I got onto the blog to post a new article.
   I pressed ‘preview’ and as I read the preview in a new window, found a typo. 
   I went back to the entry, made the change and clicked ‘save’. I switched back
   over to the ‘preview’ and continued to read. When I closed it and went back to
   the edit window, I had the ‘famous 5 minute install’ page instead of my blog.
 * I used ftp to grab a copy of my directory and then ran the install. I get hundreds
   of errors but the most frequent one is “WordPress database error: [File ‘./geek/
   wp_options.MYD’ not found (Errcode: 13)]”
    I’ve found very little mentioned about
   it in websearches.
 * When I go into phpMyAdmin, I get the ‘in use’ status and error code.
 * No one seems to have any recommendation except for this quickie repair [http://paulstamatiou.com/2006/05/31/how-to-quickie-repair-mysql-tables-in-phpmyadmin](http://paulstamatiou.com/2006/05/31/how-to-quickie-repair-mysql-tables-in-phpmyadmin)
   but it returns the same error message.
 * Any help would be great. Please!
 * Thanks,
    Raven

 * I am waiting to hear back from them. Thanks for the response though. I’m seeing
   a lot of these errors reported but few recommendations. I appreciate hearing 
   back from someone.

 * Looks like Yahoo! fixed it. Everything is back to normal.

 * I’m having the exact same problem with the wp_comments and yahoo, what did you
   do to contact yahoo to fix the problem?

 * You can get their support number by logging in to your small business account,
   and going to help. There should be a contact us link on the right. Click that
   and go through their menu screens. Eventually, it will give you a phone number
   to call. After talking to them, it was fixed within 48 hours.
