I'm using mysql, and I want to enable saving queries to text files in any location. Currently, when I run the mysql command:
show variables like 'secure_file_priv';
I receive the value for 'secure_file_priv':
/var/lib/mysql-files/
I am able to save my queries to files in this location but nowhere else of course. (I'm also having trouble accessing this folder, even when I try to access it as root)
I found my 'my.cnf' file in '/etc/my.cnf', but it doesn't contain the variable 'secure_file_priv'!
I added it in myself as:
secure_file_priv=""
But this didn't do anything.
I also tried changing it through the mysql terminal, but it is a readonly variable, so I wasn't able to.
Where is this variable located and how can I change it to allow me to write the results of queries to files anywhere?

I'm using Windows 10 and installed gitlab-runner using the Gitlab's doc.
After a successful installation and registration, I try to leave the folderI used to install (C:\Gitlab-Runner in my instance) and try to run gitlab-runner. I get the response: 'gitlab-runner' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am able to run without issue in the C:\Gitlab-Runner folder, but nowhere else.
Based on the documentation and tutorials I looked at, I wouldn't expect this behavior; am I supposed to?
Did you check to ensure that it was added to The windows environment. You will likely need to update the path variable to include the path that you are using to run the command.
On windows, you add to the PATH variable with the following steps (yanked from google search page):
On the Windows taskbar, right-click the Windows icon and select System.
In the Settings window, under Related Settings, click Advanced system settings. ...
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. ...
Click New to create a new environment variable.
Once you've added C:/Gitlab-runner/ to PATH, I believe you should be able to invoke with gitlab-runner.
The only thing I'll add is that, for setting PATH, the last step above is most likely unnecessary, as there will already be a variable named PATH with a list of directories stored in it. Just click EDIT and add your directory to the end of the list. Be sure to add the separator that is used for the others (I believe it's a semicolon on Windows...)
Solved. I need to call C:/Gitlab-runner/gitlab-runner rather than just gitlab-runner in other directories.
Please make sure the name of the exe is correct in the folder C:\GitLab-Runner
In my situation, I have the gilab-runner.exe.exe, there was an extra .exe in the file name though its not showing in the directory.

I would like to know what happens if one or more options inside my.cnf file hahe a sintax error inside or a specific value that does not fit with the environment settings.
Will Mysql ignore or overwrite only that single option/variable or will the entire my.cnf file be corrupted?
After setting $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 604880; for phpMyAdmin, I'm getting the following warning in phpMyAdmin:
Your PHP parameter session.gc_maxlifetime is lower than cookie
validity configured in phpMyAdmin, because of this, your login will
expire sooner than configured in phpMyAdmin.
Where do I have to set session.gc_maxlifetime? Is /etc/php5/php.ini the right place for it? Because nano /etc/php5/php.ini shows me a blank file. What's the right syntax to set session.gc_maxlifetime?
If you run phpinfo() (in a browser), the output from that will have a setting: Loaded Configuration File that shows the path to the php.ini file that was used (see below). That will be the file to edit.
The setting in the file is a simple number/value change. Search the file for session.gc_maxlifetime as there is other information above that variable in the file.
I'm trying to execute a batch file in SQL Server 2008 Express using xp_cmdshell. If I use it to execute a batch file that contains the following command:
echo > C:\development\test\itworks.txt
a file called "itworks.txt" is created and inside it text says "ECHO is on".
But if I run a batch file that contains the command:
CD. >test1.txt
it doesn't work (no error, just nothing created)
and neither does:
type NUL > test2.txt
although both those batch files do create the file if double clicked/run from command prompt. I thought it might be a permissions error (I hadn't tried the echo command at that point), so changed file permissions so that NTAuthority (which is what the SQLServer service runs as) had full control over the folder but it still didn't work. Nothing in event logs. I'm a novice at DOS commands so I don't really understand the different commands. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
If you test the commands directly at a command prompt, they work. The cd statement produces a text file containing the name of the current directory; the type statement produces a zero-byte file, but it does indeed produce a file.
Most likely, xp_cmdshell is executing in a folder where the account it's running under has no write privileges, and you're not specifying another location for the file to be written. (The echo statement that works specifies a folder location for the text file, while your other two don't.)
Change your batch file to:
cd > C:\development\test\test1.txt
or
type NUL > C:\development\test\test1.txt
If the echo statement works there when run via xp_cmdshell, you know it's writable by the NTAuthority account.
I am having some real difficulties finding out exactly what a certain file in the MySQL data directory is used for. (Using Google with its file name is pointless!)
Basically, I need to create some space on the drive that hosts all MySQL data and have noticed a file almost 16GB in size!!
I cant see any reference to a Query file in my config file nor can I match its size up to that of any log files, etc (in case its a log file missing the .log extension). I'm totally stumped!
I would like to know what this file is and how to reduce its size if at all possible?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
That could be the general query log (I said "could" because the name can be configured by yourself). Look in your my.ini for an entry
log=/path/to/query
Or start the MySQL Administrator, goto "Startup Variables->Log Files" and look for "Query Logfile"
That file is completely unnessasary for your server to run (if you confirmed that the entry log=... exists in your config.
It is just good for debugging.
Try stopping your mysql server, delete it and restart your server again. The file will be recreated.
I also noticed that the slow-query-log ("diamond-slow-log") is large, too.
That file only logs queries that take longer than x seconds (2 by default). That file can be deleted or deactivated, too. But I would keep it since it contains queries that could easily be optimized with an extra index.
Update
there is another way, to confirm that this is the general query log.
Download a windows port of the tail unix command. E.g. this one http://tailforwin32.sourceforge.net/
I often use this on my dev machine to see what is goning on.
Open a shell (cmd.exe) and navigate the folder where that file exists.
Then type
tail -f query
That will print the last few lines of the file and if the file changes every new line.
So if you do a SELECT * FROM table you should see the query in the console output.
