MySQL question

[Digital_Froggy]

MySQL stores all of its actual database info in the /var directory, right? If so, should create a fairly large /var directory then? I'm planning on setting up phpBB and just need to know where all the actual info is held.

Thanks

I *think* it's in /var/lib/mysql

Correct

Well it all depends on if you install from a package like RPM or from source. If you install from source, it depends on where you untarr the tar ball. My MySQL databases sit in /usr/local/mysql/data.

Tolstoy is correct. it all depends on whether you do it from rpm or source.
