Sometimes because the session wasn’t properly closed and because it was stopped in some improper manner, we’ve seen that the Joomla jos_session table crashes due to which we cannot create any other new connection and due to which nothing, not the site, admin session, etc is open.
If you’re facing such an issue then it has a very quick fix: you can repair the jos_session table using the MySQL tool or phpMyAdmin or the MySQL command line interface (if you know the root login of the server). The simplest way is to repair it using phpMyAdmin as follows :-
Step 1: Login into phpMyAdmin and click on the MySQL database name.
Step 2: Then click on the ‘SQL Query’ option and run the query below:-
repair table jos_session
and click on Go to execute that query.
Step 3: After getting the output ‘Query executed successfully’, you should be able to access the website and admin section of Joomla.
That’s it, have fun.
