I am running 3.5.4 with cmps 2.1.0.
Recently my server folks did some upgrading and i assume to php5 and mysql5.anyway my site was unreachable until they did something on their end to make it work.

Now i am getting all sorts of errors regarding the word "phrase".

I decided to finally do my upgrade in hopes that maybe it would fix my problems however i am running into problems even there.the main problem right now is that when i go to admincp to turn off my forum as per intruction i get the following error and can't get to the page to turn it off:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT varname, text
FROM phrase
WHERE phrasetypeid = 5000 AND
languageid IN(-1, 0, 1)
ORDER BY languageid ASC;

MySQL Error : Table './xxxxxxxxx_forum/phrase' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
Error Number : 145

it seems there is a problem with mysql but have no idea how to fix it so i can proceed with upgrade and/or stop the zillion errors of the same type every time someone posts.

Does the forum HAVE to be turned off to upgrade or is there a way to this ignorant sole to temp fix it so i can proceed?

thanks in advance for any help as i am at wits end
