Problems with my.cnf settings (5 replies)

Hi All,

I've just installed a new version of MySQL Server (5.1.51) on a Centos Linux machine and coming from the 5.0.45 version i'm experiencing some issues when I want to start a mysql prompt using 'mysql -u root -p'

The error i'm getting is "mysql: unknown variable <variable name>" where variable name is like every my.cnf setting you can imagine.

Did anything change in the new mysql version in regards to the my.cnf file or am I just doing something wrong? (i'm using the same my.cnf file as I did with 5.0.45 and edited the settings because of some deprecated mysql config options)

Help is gladly appreciated..

thanks!
