Hi all, gosh, I must be overlooking something obvious. Running mysql 4.0.16. I want to set the wait_timeout in my.cnf (section [mysql]) like:
wait_timeout = 300 also tried the depricated set-variable = wait_timeout=300 Both are not working; still default to 28800. Sure, I stopped and started the server. However, when I set the variable in the mysql-client with: set wait_timeout=30; the variable wait_timeout is changed! What am I overlooking? I really want to set this in my config-file, rather that setting it manually in the client... Any hints? PS.
