Thanks very much. Worked like a charm. I’m still on 2.5.1 and my problem was exactly as described above. Wonder what caused it?

I feel your pain! I had the same problem hit a week ago with 2.0.5. (http://www.dograt.com) Error number 2 can’t be repaired, because the table file is g-o-n-e! The comments are, I think, still there, because the posts show the comment counts, but without the table they’re not available.

I’m tempted to trying running upgrade.php to see if it can re-create wp_comments.MYI, but my assumption is it won’t work and, if anything, will further screw things up.

I have a backup, but it’s not terribly recent. I’d rather look into phpMyAdmin to re-creating the table from the comments, or try upgrade.php.

If I take the restore route, I’ll need just the comments, as everything else seems to be all right. Obviously, I need more experience with this level of WordPress/mySQL, but it would be helpful if somebody with more knowledge could help guide the way.

Thanks…
