Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.24a-9 Short description: Despite comments in config-file configuration files from /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf are not read.
Detailed description: The configuration file in /etc/mysql/my.cnf reads: # You can copy this to one of: # - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options, # - "/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf" to set server-specific options or # - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options. However as of mysql5: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/option-files.html "In MySQL 5.0, use of DATADIR as the location for my.cnf is deprecated." And indeed if I check with [EMAIL PROTECTED]:# mysqld --verbose --help I get: Default options are read from the following files in the given order: /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf And indeed the values reflect that of the default file only, not any other my.cnf placed any other place. (In the start script HOME for the mysql-user is set to /etc/mysql/ as well, so instead of the three options, there is really only one option.) Expected behaviour: Change start-script/mysql compiletime options so that my.cnf from other places are read and used. Alternatively a change of the documentation would be fine as well.
