Hello folks Is it possible to install a MySQL server into the /home/*username* directory in a typical Linux Installation. If so 1. where to put those my.cnf files and set the global options for a particular user. 2. How to connect to that database from a remote machine, knowing the IP of the host machine and the *username* ( linux user ) Thanks for any help regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
