Hi, Sergei. I have two my.cnf files: /etc/my.cnf and /etc/mysql/my.cnf In /etc/mysql/my.cnf: basedir, datadir and lc-messages-dir They are pointing to an incorrect directory. I can avoid this when I compile mariadb, or I have to modify it after compiling. ? # my_print_defaults —mysqld --port=3306 --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock --skip-external-locking --key_buffer_size=16M --max_allowed_packet=1M --table_open_cache=64 --sort_buffer_size=512K --net_buffer_length=8K --read_buffer_size=256K --read_rnd_buffer_size=512K --myisam_sort_buffer_size=8M --log-bin=mysql-bin --binlog_format=mixed --server-id=1 --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --port=3306 --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp --lc-messages-dir=/usr/share/mysql --skip-external-locking --bind-address=127.0.0.1 --key_buffer=16M --max_allowed_packet=16M --thread_stack=192K --thread_cache_size=8 --myisam-recover=BACKUP --query_cache_limit=1M --query_cache_size=16M --log_error=/var/log/mysql/error.log --expire_logs_days=10 --max_binlog_size=100M — # cat /etc/my.cnf # Example MariaDB config file for medium systems. # # This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MariaDB plays # an important part, or systems up to 128M where MariaDB is used together with # other programs (such as a web server) # # MariaDB programs look for option files in a set of # locations which depend on the deployment platform. # You can copy this option file to one of those # locations.

Hi, Sergei.

I have two my.cnf files: /etc/my.cnf and /etc/mysql/my.cnf

In /etc/mysql/my.cnf:

basedir, datadir and lc-messages-dir

They are pointing to an incorrect directory.

I can avoid this when I compile mariadb, or I have to modify it after compiling. ?

It's in the manual, did you try to look there?
