Hi list!
I try to change my data dir from the default /var/lib/mysql to /usr/mysql .
On a standard Suse install I did the following:
- copying all databases cp -R * /usr/mysql
- changing the datadir in /etc/my.cnf to /usr/mysql
- mysql restart
- works fine
On my ded. server I have RedHat 7 running, I installed the downloaded
3.23.32 rpm and now I tried to move the datadir.
My steps on RedHat:
- copying all databases cp -R * /usr/mysql
- there is no my.cnf in standard install, so I changed in the start script
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql the line $datadir=/usr/mysql
- mysql restart
-> demon gives up with the following statement in error log: "Can't find
./mysql/host.frm"
but the file is there, also chowned to mysql:mysql ...
next thing I did was setting up a symlink in /usr/mysql to the
/var/lib/mysql/mysql directory ... that the demon gets the original data ...
same comment in error log.
Do you have a solution or a step by step manual for me?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanx alot!
Michael
