I have just installed the mysql binary on solaris 8. I would like have the data go to a different directory than /local/mysql/data. How do I get it to do that?
I tried starting it with the --datadir set, but that didn't work. I tried setting datadir in the /etc/my.cnf file, but that didn't work. I tried making /local/mysql/data a softlink to a different place, but that didn't work. I tried making /local/mysql/data/mysql a softlink to a different place, but that didn't work. Thanks!
