Actually, that didn't change anything. Still writing to $HOSTNAME.err -----Original Message----- From: Michael Stassen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 12:03 PM To: Luc Foisy Cc: Paul DuBois; MYSQL-List (E-mail) Subject: Re: mysql error file
Note (see ps output) that you are using safe_mysqld, rather than mysqld_safe, as you have mysql 3.23.58. Hence, you need to change [mysqld_safe] to [safe_mysqld] in your my.cnf. See <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqld_safe.html>.
