Package: mysql-server-4.1 Version: 4.1.11a-4sarge7 Severity: normal The mysqld_multi program (used to run multiple instances of a MySQL server) is looking for the config at /etc/my.cnf whereas Debian uses /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
mysqld_multi outputs no kind of warnings or errors - in fact, the only way I found out was by running it through strace when I couldn't get it working! Lines 425-435 seem to be the interesting ones. Either changing them, adding a warning that no config file could be found, or at least documenting this problem would be nice. :) Looks like it's the same with the 5.0 packages as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.7-skas3-v8 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mysql-server-4.1 depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.46-6 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13sarge1 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient14 4.1.11a-4sarge7 mysql database client library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline4 4.3-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20040524cvs-4 A simple mail user agent ii mysql-client-4.1 4.1.11a-4sarge7 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common-4.1 4.1.11a-4sarge7 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge9 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.4-8sarge5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: mysql-server-4.1/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-4.1/postrm_remove_databases: false * mysql-server-4.1/mysql_install_db_notes: mysql-server-4.1/mysql_update_hints1: mysql-server-4.1/nis_warning: ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
