Hi!
root@oden libexec]# ./mysqld --help
No variable match for: -O 'connect_timeout =3D 30'
./mysqld Ver 3.23.23-beta for pc-linux-gnu on i686
Use ./mysqld --help for a list of available options
Two bugs in one: First --help option does not seems to work
The problem is that the defaults file options are parsed before
--help.
I have now changed the error message to:
Use '--help' or '--no-defaults --help' for a list of available options
Second: the variable connect_timeout is listed in variables but does =
not seems to work
It works at least for 3.23.25:
(/my/monty/sql) mysqld-i686 -O connect_timeout=5 -V
mysqld-i686 Ver 3.23.25-beta-debug for linux on i586
After some checking I noticed that you are not allowed to have space
after the variable name in the my.cnf file.
Change
set-variable = connect_timeout = 30
to
set-variable = connect_timeout=30
