Thanks a lot,
But another problem. I did the changes in my.cnf and restarted mysql. It
stops immediately, shows the following:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /base1
010613 14:22:38 mysqld ended
But when I changed the 'datadir' values in the my.cnf back to the default
directory, it works fine.
Any idea what the problem is?
