Hi, I like to run mysqld with these 3 options: --log-slow-queries --delay-key-write-for-all-tables --skip-networking But, so far, I've been unable to get mysqld to read them out of /etc/my.cnf. Here's what's inside my /etc/my.cnf: [mysql.server] log-slow-queries delay-key-write-for-all-tables skip-networking Am I doing this wrong? I looked, but I didn't find any documentation of how to format simple options like this in /etc/my.cnf. ...or perhaps, I have them under the wrong header (is "mysql.server" correct?) ...or perhaps I just can't set these options in /etc/my.cnf. Currently, I set them by editing the mysql start script, adding them to the safe_mysqld line. Any help would be appreciated. -bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
