[snip] Do I have to reinstall mysql in order to change the default data dir from /var/lib/mysql? Can I do this: mv /var/lib/mysql /newdir/mysql cd /var/lib ln -s /newdir/mysql mysql
[/snip] This should work. You could also change the datadir variable in your my.cnf file instead of creating the link. --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
