i recompiled/reinstalled 3.23.51. i copied mysql.server /etc/rc3.d/S99mysql. i edited /usr/local/etc/my.cnf. i started mysql and it read the my.cnf file from that location and everything worked great. i created a solaris package and installed it on another system. the system the package was installed on is a clone (exact except ip address) of the system that it was compiled on. so i start mysql on the second system, and it doesn't see (load) /usr/local/etc/my.cnf. now why is that? yesterday when i posted, i figured that i must not have properly configured when i compiled. that seemed to be the case, but now i am not so sure.
