Pointing out the obvious is clearly a skill I’ll have to work upon. Indeed it is an old topic, but as it failed for me today and I found the fix, I thought it was worth passing on in case anybody else has a similar mysql problem. Its not only WordPress that could be affected.

Anyway, the spirit of completeness and sharing knowledge led me to post, as nobody else appeared to have solved the problem. I managed to Google successfully for this error so hopefully next time, I’ll get the fix. My version of WordPress was 1.5.2 by the way…..

For this: “/usr/local/bin/mysqldump: Can’t get CREATE TABLE for table ‘wp_post2cat’ (Can’t open file: ‘wp_post2cat.MYD’. (errno: 144))”

Try the command: mysqldump –databases wordpress >dump.txt

It worked for me when I encountered the same problem.
