 * Hello, I have WordPress configured to load on my web page at [http://www.savethecolors.com](http://www.savethecolors.com).
   Since the 10th of June I intermittenly get this error . . .
    WordPress database
   error: [Got error 28 from table handler]
 * SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2007-06-13 01:
   52:59’ AND (post_status = “publish”) AND post_status != “attachment” GROUP BY
   wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 2
 * It comes and goes seemingly at random.
 * Regards,
    Keith

 * thats a space issue that your host needs to take care of — contact your host.

 * Thank you. I have contacted them but when they look at the site all is well (
   of course!). I will get hold of them again.

 * specifically, what causes this is really simple. mysql actually stores its data
   in flat text files on the server.
 * Obviously those text files take up space — you’ll see that error when mysql runs
   out of space. And it’s fixed of course, when your host clears up space.
 * Most (smart) people install mysql into its own partition since that way it doesn’t
   have to fight with anything else for space.

 * I asked the host to lookinto it, He said:
 * Keith we don’t limit per a database. It really doesn’t look like a space issue
   to me.

 * so, what now? Are you sure it’s not a version issue with the theme I used? I 
   do trust you however, please understand that! 🙂
 * I am way screwed at thsi point….thsi is a boss’s blog and it’s a hipper theme
   than the one I’m possibly left to use by noon!

 * I kept calling my host and finally they took care of the problem. Not sure what
   they did but when I had the error “live” I would call them and eventually they
   figuered it out.
 * BTW, the “Keith” in anoitedsax’s post is not me.
