Thank you for a problem report and patch proposed. Verified just as described on 5.0.17-BK (ChangeSet@1.1978.1.1, 2005-11-19 19:00:02+03:00): ./configure --prefix=/home/openxs/dbs/5.0 --sysconfdir=/tmp make make install cd /home/openxs/dbs/5.0 Then: [openxs@Fedora 5.0]$ bin/mysqld_safe & [1] 8024 [openxs@Fedora 5.0]$ Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /home/openxs/dbs/5.0/var [openxs@Fedora 5.0]$ bin/mysql -uroot Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 5.0.17 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> show variables like 'innodb_buffer%'; +-------------------------------+---------+ | Variable_name | Value | +-------------------------------+---------+ | innodb_buffer_pool_awe_mem_mb | 0 | | innodb_buffer_pool_size | 8388608 | +-------------------------------+---------+ 2 rows in set (0,00 sec) mysql> exit Bye So, innodb_buffer_pool_size has the default value, but I have my.cnf in /tmp, completely ignored: [openxs@Fedora 5.0]$ cat /tmp/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/home/openxs/dbs/5.0/data set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=40M

Hi, I'm one of the other MySQL maintainers on Gentoo, and with the patch in http://lists.mysql.com/commits/3885 (and I also tried the newer patch, which does't change anything in that regard), we still experience this problem, but only for the client tools. The mysqld compiles fine and has the correct path we pass to ./configure with --sysconfdir, but the client tools (mysql etc.) seem to not respect that and simply ignore it, and compile in only the default paths. If mysys/default.c is modified to actually hardcode the path, it also gets used in the client tools, so as far as I can tell it would seem it simply skips the ifdef when compiling the client tools, which would suggest DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR is undefined when compiling the client tools... Now I tried to add -DDEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR="/etc/mysql" to the client/Makefile's, but it seems to have no effect (I see it in GCC's output, but the client tools still don't use /etc/mysql as one of their search paths), and sadly I'm no autotools guru. I can confirm this all still happens on the latest 4.1.X and 5.0.X releases, works on 4.0.X, and I didn't test 5.1.X yet. Anyone has an idea? Thanks! ;) Best regards, CHTEKK.

Ok, so we probably need to add the define to client/Makefile.am as well

Added DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR define to libmysql/Makefile.shared as default.c is compiled separately when creating libmysql and libmysql_r

Pushed to 5.0.21 and 5.1.10 a patch that will take the switch --sysconfdir to ./configure into account when looking for the my.cnf file. I.e it will add that directory last in the list where we search for my.cnf

Added to 5.0.21 and 5.1.10 changelogs:
<listitem>
<para>
Server and clients ignored the <option>--sysconfdir</option> option when
passed to <filename>./configure</filename>. (Bug #15069)
</para>
</listitem>
Description: configure --sysconfdir=/etc/my/path permit to specify a personalized configure file path, however this is not take in consideration from "mysys/default.c" and as a consequence to "my_print_defaults" and (and the others). We modify the sources with patch reported in "Suggested fix: " section (+5 rows :). Best Regard, Francesco R.
