Vicidial Mysql database repair command

Using the mysqlcheck command you can repair and optimize the crashed vicidial mysql database and tables using the labels like --check , --auto-repair and --optimize, below i have listed the mysql repair command for various vicidial platforms.  

For Latest Vicibox run the below commands
mysqlcheck -p --check asterisk
mysqlcheck -p --auto-repair asterisk
mysqlcheck -p --optimize asterisk

If the above command failed to Repair a particular table, identify the corrupted table and run the below command.

This method is used to force repair the crashed mysql tables ,which may leads to data loss.

mysql -p
mysql>use asterisk
mysql>REPAIR table table_name USE_FRM;
eg: REPAIR table vicidial_live_agents USE_FRM;

Note: by default mysql root password is not set in vicibox, that is just press enter after mysql -p, if not working use mysql -ucront -p with password 1234

For Goautodial/ Vicidial scratch installs run below command

mysqlcheck -u root -p --auto-repair --check --optimize --all-databases
note: if you using goautodial then the password will be goautodial, if not working then use below command, which uses default vicidial mysql credentials

mysqlcheck -u cron -p --auto-repair --check --optimize --all-databases
password will be : 1234
note: the default password of vicidial mysql logins.

Note:**you might receive below error while running above command

Error:: mysqlcheck doesn't support multiple contradicting commands.

Run the below commands
mysqlcheck -u root -p --auto-repair --all-databases
mysqlcheck -u root -p --optimize --all-databases

      Sample mysql check command output

Error : Incorrect file format 'vicidial_live_agents'
error : Corrupt
asterisk.vicidial_manager
Error : Incorrect file format 'vicidial_manager'
error : Corrupt

Conclusion:

To avoid the Database Crash , avoid overload in server limit the agent login's and dial limit as per server spec , use proper UPS to avoid improper server shutdown,
use the linux command shutdown -h now to shutdown the server instead of pressing power button directly.

    Hello Sir, As per your documentation, i have installed vicidial with asterisk 13 in centos . Sir, I am unable to get full administrator details and not able to access php my admin too sir. I searched your blog related maria DB commands, I have not found that stuff in your blog sir. Any solution for this sir?
