I'm not sure of what is going on, but I think my account is a source of buggy databases. I've not touched my databases for many months, I reckon they were empty. Last night I was ready to roll a new version of my portfolio that would rely on them and tried to import the first table, a simple one with a single entry. It just didn't work, I've got an error, the phpMyAdmin crashed and refused to open again for ~15 min, it seems it coincided with a short downtime of stevie too. I only know I ended trying to empty/check/repair/delete/recreate the databases through the CPanel, but when phpMyAdmin was back I could see the databases were never truly deleted. When I tried to create tables through the SQL it acted as if it worked, but no table was created, when I tried to run the SQL from a PHP file it pretended it worked as well. If I return to the CPanel and run a check on the database it'll occasionally report the "Error: Table '(table name)' doesn't exist Status : Operation failed". I went to bed thinking it could be a momentary bug, but got no luck today too. I managed to truly delete a database, but upon creating a new one phpMyAdmin crashed again right after: "Error SQL query: Edit SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'; MySQL said: Documentation #2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured). Open new phpMyAdmin window" It returned quickly this time, but the database I've just deleted was here, staring at me, with table error and everything. If I tried to create tables in any database of my account now I actually got an error, "#2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query". Then, I found this thread and others and read the mention to InnoDB. I'm sorry if I've crashed the MySQL or anything else for anyone but me last night/this morning and I hope my report helps fixing this problem. :| P.s.: I still have a ghost, old, undeletable database lingering here.
