setting the data directory.

2006-01-31 Thread Scott Johnson
Hi All, I am trying to find out how to change the location of the data files. I have not yet found a generic entry for the my.conf file to set a data and log location. Can I move the exiting data directory form the mySQL tree and put a soft link to a new location on another partition? thanks,

Hi, There's a mysqld startup option --datadir=/path/to/data which you can use to alter your data directory. Simply adjust your startup scripts to suite. Regards, -Adam On 1/31/06, Scott Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am trying to find out how to change the location of the data
