Editing my.cnf

[LucL]

Hi Guys,

I've edited out /etc/my.cnf to contain two new lines that deal with query caching..

query_cache_type=1
query_cache_size=25M

Then I saved the file and restarted Mysql. This is under Linux Redhat.

For some reason when I reconnect and check the variables using
"SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%query_cache%';"

query_cache_size is still 0 and none of the changes made in the file are applied. This is after shutting down and restarting mysql and shutting down and restarting the client.

Am I missing something? Doesn't matter if I connect to the DB as user or admin the variable changes simply aren't applied.

Thanks!
Luc L.
