MySQL: sessions is marked as crashed and should be repaired

[cujo]

Host went down yesterday and when it came back up today got this when trying to access site

145 - Table './motorspo_catalog/sessions' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

select value from sessions where sesskey = '717502f5f950b1e52c2c52dbb944dbac' and expiry > '1221739194'

You need to open up phpmyadmin and select your site database. Find the sessions table in the list and check the box next to it. Then scroll to the bottom and select repair. That should sort things out

I had a similar occurance when my (old) host started mucking around with the databases.

You can clear out all data in the session table... No problems there.
