I'm new to Linux and mysql (our web development has always been done by
outside contractors). They went belly up towards the end of last year and I
have been maintaining the system ever since (with no major problems).
Today the server had to be rebooted (the first time since they went...) and
when it came back the database was "kinda not working" (a technical term). I
think that the basedir and datadir may be pointing to the wrong place. How
does somebody with a little (practically none) knowledge of Linux or mysql
go about changing these ?
when I try to access the data base I get,
didn't find any fields in table ABC
didn't find any fields in table DEF
didn't find any fields in table .....
when I try as ps -elf | grep sql
I get the 3 processes running with the basedir & datadir = /usr/local/mysql
but unfortunately this is not where my .frm,.ISD,.ISM files are.
sorry about this but in "windows" terms how do I change my ini file ?
Joe.
