They are: 1. You can't use defaults-extra-file in that way, it can only be used on the command line itself, never in a cnf file. In addition, it must always be one of the first options on the command line (along with defaults-file, skip-defaults, etc.). See !include and !includedir instead (as of 4.1.14 and 5.0.4, I added them to make Yahoo!'s configuration more sane). 2. In the file that you would !include or use with defaults{,-extra}-file you must always still include [group] lines, as includes are always "context-less". 3. You have a typo: innno 4. The query_cache_type variable cannot be set to "ON", you would want to set it to "1" instead. 5. Please don't use master_host et al. :) Regards, Jeremy Hi Ryan,

3. You have a typo: innno

4. The query_cache_type variable cannot be set to “ON”, you would want to set it to “1″ instead.

5. Please don’t use master_host et al. :)
