Hello.
Changing the basedir variable doesn't automatically changes the datadir
variable.
This can produce the problems. I've reported a bug:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=7873
You can use my suggested patch or specify the options in the option file. See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Automatic_start.html

I've got a question the mysql.server script (came with 4.0.12 and 4.1.8

not even good enough to be called 'limited', but here goes:
I'm trying to use mysql.server (Redhat 9) to start MySQL in a
non-standard location.
On line 47:
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
Should that line be datadir=$basedir/data ?
I tried changing basedir to my new path, but it didn't quite work until
I changed that line. I'm mostly asking because it *seems* right, but I'm
essentially clueless and wanted to double check.
Thanks,
Chris
