Clay, I have only been running MySQL on Mac OS 10.1.3 on a PowerBook G4 for development purposes, but a couple of things occurred to me:
1.) When the log says "Got error 9 from select" and that error shows as "Bad file descriptor", I am reminded of the quirkiness that sometimes happens when applications interface with HFS/HFS+ volumes. Does your Mac OS X Server have HFS+ volumes, or do you use AIX filesystem volumes? 2.) Do any of your queries to the mysql filename reference a filename, and if so, is the filename part of your $PATH variable, or does it require a path prefix prepended to the filename? I know these are obscure questions, but you have quite an obscure issue on your hands. They're mostly a hacker's stab in the dark. Best wishes, and we all (particularly those of us dealing with Mac OS X :^) ) are interested in hearing how you finally figure this out. If you have not already visited his site, you might go to Mark Liyanage's site (http://www.entropy.ch/) and email him to see if he has anything to offer. Sincerely, -- Barry C.

Which still leaves me a bit in the dark. Has anyone else experienced "error 9"? As Paul DuBois mentioned in another response, MySQL and Mac OS X are pretty recent companions, so it's entirely possible this could be related to the OS and its file system routines. I'm using a pretty speedy disk on a dual processor G4 ... And noted today while perusing the support option price list that the use of a dual processor puts me in the "advanced" support category (as does the use of Mac OS X). Any possibility of the dual processing playing a role here? Our MySQL server is also a "dual disk" system, where the OS the MySQL application reside on one Ultra160 SCSI drive, and the MySQL data files reside on a second Ultra160 SCSI drive. I can also pass along my "my.cnf" parameters if they may be of use in diagnosing the problem ... I've based them off of the "large" example "my.cnf" settings. Thanks in advance for any additional assistance -- I really do appreciate the dialog on the problem. -Clay ___________________________ Clay Loveless Webmaster, Crawlspace http://www.crawlspace.com/ > From: "Mark Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 16:39:56 -0500 > To: "Clay Loveless" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: how to get support help? > > What does your MySQL error log say when this happens?
