Sorry from the low-level posts, but I am trying to get my grips around some simple set-up configuration.
- What exactly does basedir do? It defauts to / which to me means it is at the 'base' of the filesystem. Why/when would you need to change it (since you would only be moving it up levels - or down depending how you look at it). - What does server-specific options mean (as in placing the my.cnf for server-specific)? Isnt mysql running on the server itself and the global my.cnf handles that? Or is this for something in regards to multiple daemons running? - Am I correct ot assume the MYSQL 4.0 default to using innodb data files? - Is there documentation (or the ability) to specifiy different data directories for different database systems. I found a nice howto that is pretty low-level: http://astro.temple.edu/~kumar/MySQLRepPro/Installing_MySQL.htm which got me going with a few questions, but the couple questions I can't figure out. Once again, if anyone can point to some other online howto's and basic administration, that would be great Thanks Chris -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
