I'm running mysql 3.23.33 on debian. I'm using /etc/init.d/mysql.server
to start up and shut down mysql server. My configuration file is
/etc/mysql/my.cnf. In that file, I've set my socket as follows:
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
When mysql starts, it seems to ignore this directive, and set up the socket
on /tmp/mysql.sock. I looked into the mysql.server file, and found that it
was looking for my.cnf at /etc/my.cnf, so I tried a couple of things.
First I moved my.cnf to /etc/my.cnf. No difference. So I moved it back
and edited the mysql.server file to look at /etc/mysql/my.cnf as follows:
conf=/etc/mysql/my.cnf
Still nothing. The only way I could get it to run on
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock was to edit the line in mysql.server that
starts safe_mysql, ie:
I had to change
$bindir/safe_mysqld --datadir=$datadir --pid-file=$pid_file &
to
$bindir/safe_mysqld --datadir=$datadir --pid-file=$pid_file
--socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock &
Isn't there a more elegant way to do this? Why is mysql.server ignoring
the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file?
Thank you for your time.
