[Koha] Sessions table corrupt in Koha 3.0
I am trying to work on a small, older Koha (3.0.2)install that is not longer working. Koha is having issues connecting to the database after a problem with diskspace. While checking the Mysql and log files, I've come across with a problem with the "sessions" table in Koha. a CHECK TABLES on it or a REPAIR just hangs forever. They have backups so I should be able to restore the whole database (or possibly just this table) but before I do, does anyone have any other alternative solutions? What does this table do? Thanks, Edward ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Thanks Jared. This is probably my solution, however, I can't seem to drop this table. This is probably a basic mysql question, but how can I force a drop or remove a lock? When I try to drop the table, it just sits there waiting for the table: mysql> show processlist; ++---+---+--+-+--+---+-+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | ++---+---+--+-+--+---+-+ | 7 | kohaadmin | localhost | koha | Query | 31 | Waiting for table | drop table sessions | | 8 | kohaadmin | localhost | koha | Query | 0 | NULL | show processlist | ++---+---+--+-+--+---+-+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> IS there a way to "force the drop" or unlock the table? I am having no luck searching google.

Your users will have to log in again, but that's it. I'm not sure that will reclaim the disk space, though.

Re: [Koha] Sessions table corrupt in Koha 3.0
Okay, I got this part fixed. I managed to drop the table by starting mysql using mysqld_safe. Still need to create the table though, hopefully that will work.

Re: [Koha] Sessions table corrupt in Koha 3.0
Truncating should work fine, but I saw somewhere (I think in the e-mail archives not positive), that it could take longer. I'm not sure that is true or not since I didn't try it. The advantage to truncate though would be I wouldn't have had to look up how to recreate the table.
