Rather quite interesting, unsure why at the moment we keep getting these seemingly daily now. All sorts of new challenges to work thru. _________________ Paul Laudanski - http://www.laudanski.com http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/49a/17b

OK had a couple more issues along the way, nothing I did worked. So, I did a full backup, tested the upgrade of mysql server and client on another machine, then did it in production. Both before and after upgrade I ran repaired all tables, then did another backup. So here we are, hope things go smoothly now. Eh, life happens while you're planning. _________________ Paul Laudanski - http://www.laudanski.com http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/49a/17b

At one point a couple of tables were getting corrupted and on repair records were lost. This is where backups come in handy. I restored about 6 total lost users. They have different id's now, but everything else is the same (the sigs weren't reset). Lets just hope that our little green goblins are hibernating again for another 213.344 years. _________________ Paul Laudanski - http://www.laudanski.com http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/49a/17b

I've been working with the nice folks from FreeBSD ports on this for the past couple of hours and some suggestions were made that I've tried. Thanks to their help we're back up. I'm monitoring logs in the meantime watching out for any potential problems. _________________ Paul Laudanski - http://www.laudanski.com http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/49a/17b

After what must have been a frustrating Sun. late afternoon and evening, here's hoping things go smoothly. _________________ How to be wise in two easy steps: 1) Think of something really stupid to say. 2) Don't say it. The better I get to know my fellow lawyers, the more I love my dog.
