I logged in through the web. Did fine until log out, when I got a server 
error. I also get server error for the online logs:

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Incorrect key file for table 
'./acis/events.MYI'; try to repair it at /home/aras/acis/lib/sql_helper.pm 
line 453, <FILE> line 6.
 	...propagated at /home/aras/acis/lib/ACIS/Web/Admin/Events.pm line 
685, <FILE> line 6.


mysql.err has plenty of 090601 11:21:12 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: 
Incorrect key file for table './acis/events.MYI'; try to repair it

I remember that you upgraded MYSQL. I think I remember Ivan saying you 
cannot use any MYSQL version with ACIS. This may be an issue here, 
although I doubt this would crash the machine.
