None of the files you edited are actually in use. :-)
You should have picked on of those cnf files and copied it to your sysconfigdir specified by ./configure --sysconfdir=/path Typically, the sysconfig directory is /etc so you'll want to copy on of those example cnf files like "my-medium.cnf" to /etc/my.cnf http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Option_files.html You can change the location of mysql.sock a few different ways. 1) Add "socket=/path/to/mysql.sock" without the quotes under the [mysqld] and [client] sections of your my.cnf file. 2) Specify it when starting the server like mysqld_safe --socket=/path/to/mysql.sock 3) Reconfigure mysql adding --with-unix-socket-path=/path/to/mysql.sock Regards, Jim Grill -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
