You can't also use mysqldump anymore: mysqldump: unknown variable 'datadir=/var/lib/mysql/databases' I had to change /etc/init.d/mysql to define datadir to another that the default place. According to the mysql docs at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_d... it should work, so where is the error? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. uncomment /etc/my.cnf value "datadir = " 2. restart mysql (doesn't work) 3. try mysqldump (doesn't work) Actual Results: crash Expected Results: should work -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
