1) *where* did you create the my.cnf file? 2) Do you mean that the server still creates the file in /tmp, or that it creates it where you specified, but that *clients* still look in /tmp? If the latter, remember that you need to tell the clients where to find the file as well: [client] socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock > >What am I doing wrong?
