I am building mysql5 latest from source on Solaris. The location of the options file is very confusing and does not work according to the online documentation. For example, I have --basedir of /opt/csw/mysql5 and --datadir of /opt/csw/mysql5/var. If I put my.cnf in datadir or in basedir, the file is not used. I am using mysqld_safe to start mysqld. my.cnf options will only work if I put the file in /etc/
'./libexec/mysqld --verbose --help' returns: Default options are read from the following files in the given order: /etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf This is very different from my mysql4 builds from source, which include the documented server-specific file listed after /etc/my.cnf How can I get mysql5 to use a server-specfic options file? Am I missing a configure option or defines for mysql5?
