Hi, You could either pass it as an attribute to the command line mysqld or specify it in your my.cnf : http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Command-line_options.html
Or logical link the /usr/local/mysql/data to some other filesystem (ln -s) Cheers, Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Claudio Alonso [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday 30 June 2003 20:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Relocating the datadir Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to change where the datadir is located. I've installed mysql in a Sun Solaris, in the /usr/local/mysql directory, but I want the databases to be located in another filesystem. Is there a way to relocate them?
