Now seriously...I was a bit confused here: many MySQL DBAs (certainly the ones chasing the MySQL certificates) just want to master the latest production-rated edition of MySQL; they aren't really interested in coding. In fact, I was a bit surprised to see that there was no mention of the MySQL cert program in Mr. Benjamin's advertisement looking for a MySQL DBA - wouldn't that pool of certified MySQL DBAs seem like a better place to start? snip Regards, - Jonathan Lampe - Standard Networks, Inc. - http://www.standardnetworks.com - [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't think a blanket description of MySQL DBAs works in all cases. I for one, am a CMDBA, and interested in coding. I code more client software than contributing to the MySQL codebase. I don't know if that classifies me as Seriously Disruptive DBA or not. I think having both skills as an asset any company can take advantage of. I guess it all depends on what you believe, being more general or specific in a set of skills. I see contributing to the code base leaning towards being a software engineer instead of a DBA. A software engineer can learn to be a DBA, but I'm not exactly sure if the reverse is true.

RE: MySQL: Problem Installing on RH 7.3
At first blush it looks like it's a rights problem. Need to have the /var/lib/mysql owned by mysql.mysql... If you're starting mysql as the user mysql...

I do have the /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file... Thanks Rich I'm near enough in the same position as you are. Check the file /var/log/mysqld.log to see what the problem is. I had a problem accessing the file './mysql/host.frm', but I think that I've fixed this now. What happens when you try the 'mysql' command? I get the response can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/usr/mysql/mysql.sock' And indeed there is no such file.
