Hello ~ Thanks Andrew - it worked. It worked after I commented it out on my.cnf file. Any idea what's the purpose of that statement. I inherited this system.
Thanks all for quick response [mysqld] server-id=2 relay-log=naxbmisq04-relay-bin set-variable=max_connect_error=100 max_allowed_packet=1048576000 thread_cache_size=16 max_connections=200 query_cache_type=1 query_cache_size=32768000 table_cache=800 max_heap_table_size=32768000 [mysqldump] max_allowed_packet=1048576000 #datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
