I tried to upgrade the site: https://forums.wscc.mb.ca. It said there were a lot of database errors that needed fixing  . . . so I clicked "fix" and very shortly the site would only display:

 

An error occurred (500 Error)

We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now. 

Incorrect key file for table 'core_sys_lang_words'; try to repair it

You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. 

Try again

 

The "Try again" is not an active link, I'm at a loss of where to start.

 

Can you help?

OK! So now my site database has been restored, and the forums are working. https://forums.wscc.mb.ca/

Hi. Have you tried this way?

• Restore previous and working backup.
• Open administration and disable all plugins, applications and themes you have added.
• Rename all innodb tables, and use dynamic row format.
• Go to client area and download the latest version of the forum.
• Send with ftp the files and folders to your space, making sure to overwrite all files and folders. This is a manual update. See this guide to learn more
• Open the browser and proceed with upgrade from your-site/admin/upgrade
• If you can log into admin when finished, clear all the cache using the support option in the upper right corner
