Unable to set variable.

[Renato Lopes]

Hi!

I am typing the following at the command line to change the value of a variable:

mysqld --set-variable max_allowed_packet=16000000

And get the following message:
021030 17:08:34 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
021030 17:08:34 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
021030 17:08:34 Aborting

021030 17:08:34 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Renato
