Re: setting secure_file_priv and datadir

Okay been a few days so here is what I've come up with as a solution to my immediate needs which are to have the database generated files available to end users who are accessing data via a web based app.

Instead of changing the output directory that MySQL uses I'm going to do a call to a shell script via the used server side scripting language to move the files to an accessible directory in a WWW subdirectory. Using a shell script allows copying or moving files to any directory on the server.

Still, if someone knows the answer to any of the numbered questions above, that would be great information that I'm very interested in.

Thanks again
