MySQL error /usr/libexec/mysqld: unknown option ‘–skip-bdb’
MySQL version 5.1.47 failing to start after upgrade? Here is the brief:
Problem: tail -f /var/log/mysqld.log
1 | /usr/libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb' |
After poking around for a quick solution, nobody seemed to release that the bdb dependncy is no longer used in /etc/my.cnf configuration file.
Old my.cnf:
