That, and restart the service, of course. You *did* think of restarting the service, I trust? :-p That being said, it is also a dynamic variable, so if you didn't restart, prefer not to restart *and* are certain your config file is correct; you can also do "set global wait_timeout=xxx" to have it take effect immediately for all new sessions. Yes, that means you'll have to disconnect/reconnect to see the change in your own session. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
