-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 i configure/make/make install mysql-3.23.51 on sparc solaris using gcc-2.95.2. i used the configure option --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc. i ran the mysql_install_db script, i performed all the chown/chgrp operations, i copied mysql.server to /etc/rc3.d/S99mysql. i copied my-huge.cnf to /usr/local/etc/my.cnf and edited this to add some different options. when i start mysql, the my.cnf file was not loading. i could tell because some of the options i specified were not being run. i copied my.cnf to /etc/my.cnf and tried again. everything worked. why? i changed the sysconfdir during configuration.
thanks, shon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBPTR5NBerBYVUKJeKEQJT4QCg4ArpWivNyS7NcFDH7ZzvwxeOBNMAnRmz s7PW6dmrp8CiS1VmksYtTPQx =iJNl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
