You need to change the datadir option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf e.g. if you want to store files in /home/user/mysql/ then -----my.cnf----- datadir=/home/user/mysql Read http://askubuntu.com/questions/137424/moving-mysql-datadir for further instruction on how to move already existing files. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
