Subject:moving the datadir
View as plain text  
Hi,
I'm on Solaris 9 with mysql 4.1.

I've moved the datadir to a new location, and edited the mysql start script
directly so that it now has the line:

datadir=/export/www1/data

The server restarts no problem, and my phpBB web app can talk to it no
problem.

However when I try to connect to it using the /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
client I get:

root@catss:/usr/local/mysql:> ./bin/mysql --user=mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 4.1.10a-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> show databases;
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| test |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

------

I'm not sure where it's getting the 'test' db from, but it's not showing the
phpBB database - or other databases I have.

I've tried creating a /etc/my.cnf file - but I can't get it to work.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
 -RO.
