In Linux, the convention to read configuration files are from /etc/<filename>.
For example, PHP configuration files are read from /etc/php.ini. Similarly , for Apache, configuration files are at /etc/httpd.conf and MySQL configuration file at /etc/my.cnf In OpenSolaris, the default configuration files reside under /etc/<component-name>/<version> So, Apache or PHP or MySQL configuration file resides under /etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.conf or /etc/php/5.2/php.ini or /etc/mysql/<5.1>/my.cnf So, reading from /etc/my.cnf would be an exception and we should avoid making exceptions unless there is a very good reason to support it. IMO, we need to stick with the convention laid out by the OS. - Sriram Brian Overstreet wrote: > Should the Webstack MySQL look at /etc/my.cnf location in addition to the > default Webstack location? > > Currently, MySQL will look in /etc for configuration in addition to the > default > Webstack location of /etc/opt/... > > > Thanks, > Brian > > _______________________________________________ > > > webstack-discuss mailing list > webstack-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/webstack-discuss >
