Unable to edit/delete/move /etc/my.cnf - Permission denied
- by FlourishDNA
I am trying to edit /etc/my.cnf as root user via ssh and I get following error while trying to save it
I ma making changes to my.cnf as I want to tweak some values in my.cnf to meet Magento requirement like changing key_buffer_size= to higher value (128M). I assigned the value 128M to key_buffer_size= and tried to save it and then got an error.
"Error writing /etc/my.cnf: Permission denied"
I cant even restart MySQL successfully.
[root@flourish ~]# service mysqld restart
Stopping mysqld: [ OK ]
MySQL Daemon failed to start.
Starting mysqld: [FAILED]
I can even delete or replace it with the fresh one. I tried uninstalling MySQL and re-installing but nothing worked. Permission -rw-r--r-- and Owner/Group root/root
I hope there is some answer to this problem.
