@Thomas: Stange. With or without symlinks (tried both directions) I still get the same results as Mathias. I even tried with separate copies of /etc/my.cnf and /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
an...@pc13267:/etc$ strace mysqldump 2>&1 | grep my.cnf stat("/etc/mysql/my.cnf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3894, ...}) = 0 open("/etc/mysql/my.cnf", O_RDONLY) = 3 stat("/home/andol/.my.cnf", 0x7fff7e12d8e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/etc/my.cnf", 0x7fff7e12d8e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The /usr/local/Zend/ does make me wonder. Are you sure you are actually running the mysqldump belonging to the Ubuntu package? What will "which mysqldump" tell you? What happens if you do the same strace on an explicit /usr/bin/mysqldump? This is what Google tells me when I ask about "/usr/local/Zend"; http://www.zend.com/. Does that ring any bell? By the way, mysql-client-5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 is almost a year old. Current version in Ubuntu 8.04 is 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4. -- 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
