Hello,
I am building a new DB box.
The box is mandrake 10.1 and mysql 4.0.20
All my other boxes are RH9 and mysql 3
The one problem I am having is they appear to do the my.cnf differently
There was no my.cnf in the /etc dir, so I created one from my-huge.cnf and
placed it in the /etc
But the startup does not use it.
So I tried to append the same command to the mysql script that is called
from init.d
--defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf and I get the error
041215 10:51:59 mysqld started
/usr/sbin/mysqld: ERROR: unknown variable 'defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf'
041215 10:51:59 mysqld ended
That part that confuses me is in the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld
(I put in some debug echos to see where it is exiting)
When I run the startup it print "2"
But I am not failure with /usr/bin/my_print_defaults
Thanks for any help!
Randy
