Re: The my.cnf problem

hi,

Can anyone join the party or just people called nic? Oh, yea that me anyway! I seem to have a similar problem.

I made a couple of changes to my.cnf and now the server won't fire up, or doesn't show as being there. As you will se from the log below it seems to be there as it closes but when it starts again it says 'Fail' but seems to be present but not active. I've checked all the ownership and access rights and they are all set to 'mysql' and 755.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Best regards nic

My.cnf
The changes made on 02Feb09 caused restart failure, and remove them or commenting them out makes no differnce:

[mysqld]

socket=/mnt/mysql/mysql.sock

#datadir=/var/lib/mysql

#socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock



#skip all the innodb **** (nic 02Feb09)

skip-innodb



# switch on cache and allocate 32M (nic 30Jan09)

query_cache_limit=2M

query_cache_type=1

query_cache_size=32M



# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x

# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).

old_passwords=1



[mysql.server]

user=mysql

#basedir=/var/lib

basedir=/mnt



[mysqld_safe]
