 * Hi:
    So sorry if this is the wrong forum. Yesterday, out of the blue, I got this
   message at the top of my page:
 * WordPress database error: [File ‘./blog/wp_bas_visitors.MYD’ not found (Errcode:
   13)]
    SELECT * FROM wp_bas_visitors, wp_bas_refer, wp_bas_ua, wp_bas_os WHERE
   referer = referer_id AND osystem = os_id AND useragent = ua_id AND lasthere >
   DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 20 MINUTE) AND visit_ip = -783086625 AND ua_string =‘
   Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; IEMB3; IEMB3)’ ORDER BY lasthere
   DESC LIMIT 1
 * AND
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near‘
   AND referer = referer_id AND osystem = os_id AND useragent = ua_]
 * The documentation I’ve searched seems to indicate that errcode 13s are the fault
   of the hosting provider. In this case, Yahoo. When called, Yahoo says that is
   a WordPress problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks so much. Sarah

 * Yahoo never has a clue. It IS a host problem. If they won’t admit it, then you
   have two choices: get a new host (BEST option) or try to repair your database
   on your own.

 * Thanks vkaryl. New host might be the way to go, as repairing the database myself
   hasn’t worked yet today.

 * Ugh…. WHAT a PITA…. but yes, if you haven’t had any luck with the DIY route, 
   just find somewhere else reasonable to host it, get it moved and working while
   you figure out what’s best for the long run.
 * Yahoo is the WORST host there is.
