All, A little confused about what creates configuration (my.cnf) files. I'm running MacOS X 10.2 (Jaguar) running MySQL 4.0.x. I was looking for the global and server level configuration files in the following directories:
Global -> /etc/my.cnf Server -> /mysql/data/my.cnf I was unable to locate the files. Is this something I've got to create, or is it generated during installation? If the files aren't generated during installation, what does MySQL use when the .cnf files don't exist? http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Option_files.html Regards, Adam Fortuno (x4904) <<Adam Fortuno (E-mail).vcf>> About the auto-start-up/shut-down on OS X: OS X doesn't provide (as best I can find) a way through aqua (OS X's GUI) to automatically start and stop MySQL. However, OS X allows items to be kicked-off automatically at boot-up through the "/Library/StartupItems/" directory. The book "Managing & Using MySQL from O'Reilly (ISBN: 0-596-00211-4)" has a page dedicated to the setup (page 69). I haven't been able to get this to work. I was able to download a binary that started MySQL server. The installer setup everything in the StartupItems folder. I got the stuff from www.entropy.ch (Marc Liyanage's site). With this, MySQL server starts at boot, but I cannot get it to automatically shut down! So each time I shutdown I have to first remember to shutdown mysqld (that sucks). For now, I'm just starting and stopping it manually (makes it easier to remember I have to shut it down). I'll keep at it though.
