The Mambo session table has crashed my site, what can I do?

Error example:
DB function failed with error number 1016
Can't open file: 'mos_session.MYI'. (errno: 145) SQL=SELECT session_id FROM mos_session WHERE session_id=MD5('9...c')
SQL = SELECT session_id FROM mos_session WHERE session_id=MD5('9...c')

This error message will show when your session table is locked and can normally be repaired by using a tool like phpMyAdmin.

How to repair the Mambo session table?
  1. Login to your phpMyAdmin DB tool.
  2. Select the DB in question and scroll down to the session table.
  3. Check the check box next to the table (session table) and select the Repair option from the drop down select list.
