When you do a mysqld -? it will say: Default options are read from the following files in the given order: /etc/my.cnf /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
So that's the reason you can not start it anymore. (I'm using 4.1.0-alpha.) Hope this helps. Peter Sap. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arnoldus Th.J.
