The problem with the 10.3 packages are that it overwrites the users /etc/my.cnf
with the following:
02:42 alchemy:~/linux/boxes/nirvana> nc my.cnf.botched
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
<snip>
[safe_mysqld]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqldump]
socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
<snip>
When the values in /etc/my.cnf should be:
[02:43 nirvana:/etc] # nc my.cnf
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
<snip>
[safe_mysqld]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqldump]
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
<snip>
Fixing the my.cnf you are packaging to correct these entries will solve the
problem. It is very disappointing to update a package and have it break your
server. Both 10.3 and 11.0 were released with mysql defaulting to
/var/lib/mysql for the pid and socket and no update break that config. Thanks.
