Hey all,
So there are a number of ways you can handle this - either take a 'cold
backup' of the database, ie just copy/tar/zip all the data files off
somewhere, mind you to do this you will need to either shutdown the
database or ensure no updates take place (lock the tables). Or you can
take the

Throw in some error checking - it can't hurt. Also, do a check to see
if the MySQL database is online (you never know) before trying to back
up the database within. Here's an example:
/path/to/mysqladmin --user=$USER --password=$PASS ping | grep "mysqld
is alive" >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $?

Regarding #2, I have found that this works WONDERS for keeping people
from trying to use the UI while I do a little tinkering.

Re: [rt-users] Couldnt open File

I went through the MySQL tutorials and created test
tables to delete, within test databases and got that
down. I also went ahead and practiced importing and
populating fields within a table, from a flat file.
I've gone through all the the RT documentation,

Thank you so much. I haven't used my skills with
computers in quite awhile and I never was really a
MySQL guru, so no, your idea isn't below my level. I
understood every word Drew said, but had no idea how
to do it.

Drew's right, if it's only the sessions table that's gone you're in
luck, since that only tracks things related to who's currently logged
in.
And (since I well remember my first attempt to do something with
mysql administration that was not scripted by an RPM installer... :-)

Since it seems it is only the sessions table that is borked, you could
try dropping that table and recreating from the definitions in the RT
package you grab from BP's website.

Are there any resources you've seen that were written
well and described MySQL DB recovery? I've been
digging through the MySQL documentation and
Yahoo/Googled for "How-To" articles, but most seem to
assume a certain level of knowledge I don't possess.
I feel dumb. I can compile, run and maintai

Just a thought, what else is in /var and can be moved, temporarily, to
another place so that you can start mysql and recover

John -
If your mysql database is located on /var and /var filled up, you're
hosed. (If there's a database engine anywhere that can deal gracefully
with an inability to write to its backing filestore during normal
operations, it's definitely not MySQL.)
Your best hope is probably to restor
