Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried every method I can find and none work. Here's what I know...
1. My /etc/my.cnf is ignored. I can even delete it and phpmyadmin continues to work as it did before.
2. If I move /var/lib/mysql and replace it with a new directory (chowned to mysql:mysql so it looks like it's got the same ownership & permissions as the original) I get a write permission problem, e.g.
#1 - Can't create/write to file '/var/lib/mysql/test13/t13.MYI' (Errcode: 2)What I ultimately want to do is used existing database files on a FAT32 partition but I can't even get to first base. I'm stumped.
