ut doing anything else solves 99% of the problem.

This "little" change implies all the points i mentioned in my two  prev
comments, so it's a lot more complicated as it looks to you.


BTW: I'm sys-admin and using MySQL since 3.23 on different OS, so i know the
differences between the MySQL-Docs and the defaults on different OS and
distributions like *BSD, *Linux and Windows. There are only a few OS where =
the
paths and other defaults are exactly as documented by MySQL-Devs, most
OS/Maintainers have different paths and defaults. As an admin you have to l=
earn
each system new from the ground up and documentation can assist you in most
cases, but you have to adjust the docs according to your own systems "defau=
lts"
and/or "standards" and/or your personal preferences. That's why we talk abo=
ut
options and not hardcoded paths.
Personally i prefer to have all my data under /data so that my MySQL databa=
ses
are in /data/db/mysql and not under /var/db or /var/lib or /usr/local ;)
Enough off-topic for now...
