Wow, that's an impressive error message!

If you re-try the install, does the same thing happen?

No, now it gives me this message when attempting to install: Failed to install script : Another script is already installed in /home/prowhiteteeth/public_html.

Now un-installing Magento version 1.7.0.2 .. Failed to delete all Magento tables after 1000 attempts : SQL select table_schema,table_name from information_schema.views where table_schema = ? failed : Out of resources when opening file '/tmp/#sql_307f_0.MYD' (Errcode: 24) at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 1360. .. failed! See the error message above for the reason why.

So- now i am at a loss... ?

Thx

It sounds like you may be seeing an open files limit... what is the output of these two commands:

egrep '^(Limit|Max open files)' /proc/`pidof mysqld`/limits
egrep open.files.limit /etc/my.cnf 

Hmmm... (I am not familiar with "open files limits"...) but,here it is:

[root@host ~]# egrep '^(Limit|Max open files)' /proc/`pidof mysqld`/limits
Limit                     Soft Limit           Hard Limit           Units
Max open files            1185                 1185                 files
[root@host ~]# egrep open.files.limit /etc/my.cnf
[root@host ~]#

thx

Okay, here's what I'd try, for starters.

If you edit this file:

/etc/init.d/mysqld

Around line 18 (which should be blank), add in this line:

ulimit -n 16384

Then restart MySQL with this command:

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

After doing that, log into MySQL from the command line as root with this command:

mysql -u root -p

Once you do that, run this from the MySQL command line:

SHOW VARIABLES;

In that output, look for the variable named "open_files_limit" -- what is that set to?

OK - i did all that - in the file it shows | open_files_limit | 16384 |

Perfect!

Can you try removing Magento, and then re-installing it?

Now that we've increased the open files limit, that may correct all the issues you were previously seeing.

great - seemed to work - thanks a lot!
