Sometimes, you might experience your Joomla session tables going out of wack. This may result in your website displaying nothing but an error message.
Relax, I'll show you how to fix it!
I found a message saying something like this at the Joomla! forums:
My site is hosted through Yahoo! I use Joomla 1.5 and now my site is down and I get this error message
jtablesession::Store Failed
DB function failed with error number 1016
Can't open file: 'jos_session.MYI' (errno: 145) SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_session` ( `session_id`,`time`,`username`,`gid`,`guest`,`client_id` ) VALUES ( '4bc998b10d92bf4107976d0edacdbb26','1246725653','','0','1','0' )
My answer was:
If you have access to phpmyadmin, go to the Joomla database, select the table jos_session (tick the checkbox) and choose "Repair table" from the drop-down you find at the bottom of the list of tables. This has worked for me.
That's it ;)
