Hi, The syntax is: set-variable = max_connections=256 Regards Quentin -----Original Message----- From: Lars Andersson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 24 January 2001 09:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: changing mysqld variables? I´ve got a problem. If I try to change max_connections in /etc/my.cnf the server refuses to start? Isnt I supposed to put startup variables to MySQL in this file? A file looking like this works [mysqld] #max_connections=200 log log-bin log-slow-queries server-id=1 but as soon as I remove the comment on max_connections it wont start. Not even if I set it to a lower value than the default 100. This is on a linux machine running the latest and greatest MySQL compiled from source. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
