mysql not reading SSL/my.cnf

[Ann C]

Hello,

I have mysql 4.20 running on FBSD 5.3 fine for sometime which was compiled with both --with-ssl and --with-vio. Just today, I put the appropriate lines in my.cnf to enable ssl connections with some test certs:

#ssl-ca=/usr/local/share/mysql/openssl/cacert.pem
#ssl-cert=/usr/local/share/mysql/openssl/client-cert.pem
#ssl-key=/usr/local/share/mysql/openssl/client-key.pem

I get this error when i restart mysql:

mysql: unknown option 'ssl-ca=/usr/local/share/mysql/openssl/cacert.pem'

If I check my config (show varibales) have_openssl = YES.

I have also tried just adding the ssl options starting on the command line (--ssl-ca) but with the same results.

I saw a message in the Bugs section pertaining to this, but no follow up. Can anyone offer me any help?
