I've copied data/binlog files between MariaDB (10.3) instances and wanted to change the location of data/log files on the new machine. I adjusted the paths in the my.cnf file. On start on the new machine, the mysqld continues to refer to the old locations, ignoring the paths specified in the my.cnf file - this obviously results in an error like so:
mysqld [ERROR] mysqld: File '<old-location>/mariadb-bin.000160' not found (Errcode: 2 "No such file or directory")mysqld [ERROR] Failed to open log (file '<old-location>/mariadb-bin.000160', errno 2)mysqld [ERROR] Could not open log filemysqld [ERROR] Can't init tc logmysqld [ERROR] Aborting'I grepped and found that the ibdata1 file has a reference to the old path - is this something that needs to be updated with mysql CLI prior to the migration?
As far as I can tell, this is not the same as the problem described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7660410/try-to-change-bin-log-directory-mysql-bin-index-not-found-errcode-13
The new instance continues to refer to the old path, despite the my.cnf change. Neither this is a permissions problem (like with apparmor or file ownership).
