Backing up database problems (mySQL)

I'm trying to export one of my databases from mysql, but for some reason it won't export through mysql dump or anything. However, the forum itself is running without any issues.

I've tried a few things to have it connect

Code: 
$ mysql -u root -p
$ use my_database
$ show tables

ERROR 2006(HY000): MySQL server has gone away
No connection. Trying to reconnect...
Connection id:1Currentdatabase: my_database

ERROR 2006(HY000): MySQL server has gone away
No connection. Trying to reconnect...
ERROR 2002(HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
ERROR:
Can't connect to the server

I really am only trying to get the dump of the database

Code: 
$ mysqldump -u root -p my_database | gzip > my_database.sql.gz

this gives me the following error

Code: 
mysqldump: Got error:2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query whenusing LOCK TABLES

I've also tried

Code: 
mysqlcheck -u root -p -A

It goes through all the tables until it tries to access the tables on my_database where it fails and throws this error

Code: 
mysqlcheck: Got error:2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when executing 'CHECK TABLE ... '

Looking at the logs, I get the following errors

Code: 
InnoDB: File operation call: 'read'.

Rebuilt the search index on xenForo, and it did it without much issue.

I also tried running the mysql_upgrade command:

Code: 
$ mysql_upgrade -u root - p

Which goes through all the databases and then crashes right when it gets to my_database.

Here is the error

Code: 
...

mysqlcheck: Got error: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when executing 'CHECK TABLE ...  FOR UPGRADE'
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

I cannot figure out what else I can try to do to fix this. If anyone has an idea, it would be great to hear.
 
Did you fix the issue with the table that was throwing the errors when I had a look for you?

Code: 
Enter password:
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show table status like 'EWRporta\_categories'': Lost connection to MySQL server during query (2013)

After removing basically all EWR related addons and updating xenForo, i'm not sure it was fixed but I haven't received that error.

Code:

mysqldump: Got error: 2013: "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" when using LOCK TABLES

You can see errors about tables being crashed in that log file. That would need to be resolved.

Behavior like this does generally indicate data corruption, likely in InnoDB tables. There should be some more info in the error log, though you may need to restart MySQL, which may not come back up. This is where InnoDB recovery may be needed: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html

restarting mysql (mariadb) works without any issues. I added into my.cnf file

Code: 
[mysqld]
innodb_force_recovery = 1

Which still didn't let me show tables, or select anything (crashes as usual).

So I increased the number to 2, and then mysql(mariadb) wouldn't start.
