# Database Error (Errcode: 2)

 * Please help!
 * My family’s photoblog is down-ish right now, and it’s showing the following error:
 * WordPress database error: [File ‘./exitcrea_wp_2/wp_comments.MYD’ not found (
   Errcode: 2)]
 * I’ve gone into the database admin area and tried to repair the table, but it 
   keeps saying that the table is “In use”, or returns the error code above.
 * The blog is at: [http://exitcreative.net/todayin/](http://exitcreative.net/todayin/)
 * What should I do? Can someone help?

 * Try deactivating any comment plugins as it seems that might be the culprit. Then
   activate them one at a time and see which one is causing the error.

 * Thanks, Jeremy. I will check it out. Is the “In Use” message your clue as to 
   the idea that it might be a plugin causing the error?

 * Okay, didn’t work.
 * Just FYI, I just tried to look at the comments DB and this is what it gave me:
 *     ```
       Error
   
       SQL query: Edit
   
       SHOW INDEX FROM <code>wp_comments</code> ;
   
       MySQL said: Documentation
       #1105 - File './exitcrea_wp_2/wp_comments.MYD' not found (Errcode: 2)
       ```
   
 * If I want to just start over with a new comments DB, with no information in it(
   obviously this would result in me losing all my comments, but that’s OK in this
   case), how would I go about doing that?

 * Since you have an older version anyway, why not upgrade to the latest version
   in the 2.0 series. You can download the latest from [here](http://wordpress.org/download/legacy/).
   Just make sure you [backup everything](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups).
   Then try [upgrading](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress), if it doesn’t
   help report back here and we’ll go from there.
