Have the same problem, nither the server or any client seems to read the
my.cfg files,
they are just going on the precompiled default value.
Have tried to recomplie and alot off stuff but I always have to add
the --socket /tmp/mysql.sock
I got this problem after I installed the rpm clients and added the server by
compiling an installing it. So ...
Why isn't the rpm and installation source putting mysql in the same
directory and have the same defaults.
And how do you actualy make it read the my.cfg file? (shouldtn't it be read
atomaticly?)
