Description:
While trying to configure multiple instances I was unable to get mysqld_multi to start
multiple instances of mysqld. Basically the mysqld_multi script would say that it could
not find any GNRs and would stop. My configuration file was located in /etc/my.cnf. After
reading "mysqld_multi --example" and the documentation multiple times I discovered that
my.cnf needed to be in /root/.my.cnf or /usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf. I'm hoping that the
script can be changed to look in /etc/my.cnf also.
How to repeat:
n/a
Suggested fix:
Change mysqld_multi script around line 468 to include /etc/my.cnf
If there is a reason that this should not be done, could you please put comments in the
documentation to clarify the reasoning and the correct procedure.
