[rt-users] Couldnt open File 'sessions.MYI' in /opt/rt3/var/session_data

[John Schubert]

Are there any resources you've seen that were written
well and described MySQL DB recovery?  I've been
digging through the MySQL documentation and
Yahoo/Googled for "How-To" articles, but most seem to
assume a certain level of knowledge I don't possess.

I feel dumb.  I can compile, run and maintain Apache,
and admin Solaris, but I can't seem to get my hands
around managing a simple DB.

Thanks for any pointers,
John
