Title: Mysql looking in the wrong place?
Post by: Derick on September 15, 2004, 09:34:13 am

On my 860, I've installed mysql on:
/mnt/card/usr/sbin/mysqld
however, when I try to start mysql, I get:
"../safe_mysqld: /usr/sbin/mysqld: not found"

I'm guessing that it's looking for mysqld off of the root
directory; how do I make it look in /mnt/card?

Thanx!

How are you trying to start mysql? ie with mysqlstart, or mysqld start?

If you follow these instructions, mysql will work, although you may need to also edit your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file to change the user mysql runs under. I always had to change this user to root, no matter which ROM I tried.

Hope this helps,
