Chris, That's a great question. Especially since this file does not exist anywhere on my system. I'd be glad to create it by hand, but I wouldn't know what should be in it. I tried copying the my.cnf file to this location and naming it upgrade_defaults.cnf, upgrade_defaults, and also a 3rd try (created a sub-directory called "upgrade_defaults) and put the my.cnf in this new subdirectory. All of these attempts ended up giving me the same error I had originally.
Any ideas? Has anyone upgraded up to 5.0.24 on Solaris 9 (or other platforms) and been able to run this script successfully? -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 2:02 AM To: Whisler, David Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: mysql_upgrade script problems on MySQL 5.0.24 > error: Found option without preceding group in config file: > /u07/mysql/data/upgrade_defaults at line: 2 Fatal error in defaults > handling.
