Hrm... weird enough, this is what my strace tells me (a symlink from /etc/my.cnf to /etc/mysql/my.cnf exists):
$ strace mysqldump 2>&1 | grep my.cnf stat64("/etc/my.cnf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3959, ...}) = 0 open("/etc/my.cnf", O_RDONLY) = 3 stat64("/home/tkeller/.my.cnf", 0xbf8ccdb4) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/local/Zend/Core/etc/my.cnf", 0xbf8ccdb4) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I have no idea why it looks for /usr/local/Zend/... (this directory path doesn't exist entirely), but if you say it works for you, its probably some weird local issue. -- mysqldump doesn't pick up /etc/mysql/my.cnf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
