RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 - ASP access to MySQL

["Alex Lee" <alex@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The pkg is a standard rpm install of 3.22.32-1 which places MySQL data files
in /var/lib/mysql.

It then moves it to /home/mysql which has much more room and makes
/var/lib/mysql a symlink to /home/mysql.

When you remove your old version of MySQL, take note of where your data is
located and take appropriate steps.
