The mysql or mysql-max files are the scripts used to start mysql. There are a few config options in the file. The important one for your is the line:<del>
Hi All & Derek and Mikkel
Thanks for the information.
Derek sorry I did not mean to be insulting. I simply do not understand and am very happy for your help which I thank you very much for.
I have checked I do not have a file called S90MySQL in any location. I especially checked that it does NOT exist at /etc/rc5.d/S90mysql.
Nor do I have a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql.
What I do have is a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql-max.
I had taken a look at this file earlier but dismissed it assuming that it is not the correct file. MySQL-Max was placed on both boxes at one point in time and the removed. On reinstallation of MySQL standard MySQL was installed not MySQL-Max. This may be the source of the configuration file issue.
Currently both boxes have MySQL installed.
I have printed the MySQL-Max file and it is a 4 & 1/2 pages #10 font program which I can read some of - not much since I am not a programmer. One interesting thing I did notice is that it refers to checking a configuration file called my.cnf which I do not have.
As I know that I do not have the technical expertize to create a my.cnf file I would appreciate someone sending me a copy of a simple one that functions.
Thanks Frank
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
If you want your mysql data someplace other then /var/lib/mysql, then you will need to chege this line. You will want to create a my.cnf file in this directory. It can be an empty file. The script fills in the missing entries with usable defaults.
