[Solved] Phpmyadmin Went Insane

[Vordar]

About ten minutes ago as of posting this, I was working with PHPMyAdmin. However, in the middle of using it, it stopped working- it took me to a 500 error page telling me the page stopped working. I exited and tried to get back in, but with no luck. I noticed a large string of SQL errors during the redirect:

Could someone fix this problem, whatever it is?

MySQL crashed while you were using it, which is why you started seeing those errors in the middle of your task.

 

It's already escalated here: http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/26558-mysql-down/

Thanks, Wolstech. Is there anything I could've done to cause the crash that I need to stop doing in the future?

[wolstech]

I doubt it, but there's no real way of knowing. It could've been any of the 11,000+ users that we have on the server, and sometimes it's not a user's fault at all (data corruption for instance).

 

Out of curiosity, what were you doing at the time it crashed?

I had been experimenting with a web app, I had MyAdmin open to look at a table and occasionally truncate it. In the SQL section, I tried to open the 'Browse' section in a new tab, but it took me to the 500 error page and it hasn't worked since.

I do the same when I install a new version of my main application. Set the software up, load dummy data in whatever new feature I added, play with it, check data, debug if needed, truncate the tables, repeat with different data a few times.

 

That definitely won't bother anything.

MySQL has been fixed.

Ok, it's good to know that I didn't harm anything. Thanks!
