 * I’ve hard WP for about a month now and it has been problem free. Before WP, I
   had b2 for about a year. I’ve never had something like this happen in the past.
   I contacted my host and they said they couldn’t help. Can someone at least give
   me an idea of what has happened to my site? It’s nothing I have done because 
   I haven’t even updated all week long.
 * Please help 🙁 I don’t want to lose everything.

 * Database error: [Got error 28 from table handler]
 * That is a HOST problem, nothing to do with you, wordpress or anything else. They
   need to sort that out.

 * Im no expert but it looks to me that something is wrong with the file cookiecheck.
   php, have you checked the lines 15, 16 and 17. Have you altered the file recently?

 * The top line is this
    “Database error: [Got error 28 from table handler]”

 * First, back up your database.
 * Error 28 is a mysql problem, and not that of WordPress. [http://tinyurl.com/4nnxy]
   It may be that the database drive has run out of space. If you are running on
   a linux machine, try running `df -h` at the $ prompt to see if any drive doesn’t
   have enough space (usually the one with /var or /tmp) and bring that to the attention
   of your host. If everything has enough space, try a `repair table` from phpmyadmin
   or the shell.

 * Thanks for the speedy responses. I forwarded the excerpt from the WP Wiki regarding
   the Error 28 to my hosting provider and they patched things up! Whew, I was really
   scared…
