Description:
MySQL Router documentation states that the following are used for configuration file locations:
On Linux and OS X, MySQL Router scans the following locations:
/etc/mysql/mysqlrouter.ini: Standard MySQL directory
Note
Unlike MySQL server, the backward compatible path "/etc/mysqlrouter.ini" is not supported.
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/etc/mysqlrouter.ini: If defined during compile time
ENV{MYSQL_ROUTER_HOME}/mysqlrouter.ini: MySQL Router's home directory
ENV{HOME}/.mysqlrouter.ini: The user's home directory, where the file name begins with a period.
That is inconsistent with where I find the config file, after installing Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit GPL packages. I find it here:
/etc/mysqlrouter/mysqlrouter.ini
That explicitly contradicts the documented reasoning behind default file location:
"These locations mimic the MySQL Server for defining where MySQL Router looks for configuration files."
How to repeat:
Install Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit packages. Note location of resulting configuration file.
Suggested fix:
Reconcile product behavior and documentation.
