Ensure Symbolic Links are Disabled

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséemysql

Description

The symbolic-links and skip-symbolic-links options for MySQL determine whether symbolic link support is available. When use of symbolic links is enabled, they have different effects depending on the host platform. When symbolic links are disabled, then symbolic links stored in files or entries in tables are not used by the database. Runs mysql -NBe with the client defaults: put an administrative account in ~/.my.cnf (mode 0600) or a mysql_config_editor login path, not MYSQL_PWD (see 1.4/1.6).
