mysql is not connecting after data directory change
- by user123827
I've changed data directory in /etc/my.cnf.
datadir=/data/mysql
socket=/data/mysql/mysql.sock
I also moved mysql folder from
/var/lib/mysql/
to
/data/mysql
Now when i connect to mysql i get following error:
[root@youradstats-copy mysql]# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
also when i see /var/logs/msqld.log i get following messages in that:
InnoDB: Setting log file /data/mysql/ib_logfile0 size to 512 MB
InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
InnoDB: Progress in MB: 100 200 300 400 500

I shut down mysql properly before doing these changes and then started it properly but dont know why getting these messages. please help to solve issue as i have changed socket path in my.cnf but still its pointing to old path...
