I am newbie, newbie
newbie to linux, using Mandriva 2010.2, MySQL version 5-1-58
trying to get mysql to create InnoDB tables on an external hard drive, 1TB
I have very limited space on my desktop hard drive
I have been able to start/stop server, mysqld_safe, have been able to secure passwords, etc when federated was the active storage engine. When try to use InnoDB, can't connect to mysql.sock
Folks, I have been at this for awhile, am not sure what to do now - I am not sure if I have my paths right or if the syntax for load InnoDB is right, dunno??
Please help.
below is my .cnf file
