Re: mysql.server ignoring my.cnf?

As far as my fuzzy memory of the install process goes, the install_db script made the /etc/mysql directory and put the my.cnf file there. In the my.cnf file, it says # You can copy this to one of: # /etc/mysql/my.cnf to set global options, # mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options
