mysql data installed to /home/mysql

[wtptrs]

I finished a Directadmin installation on a fresh Debian 10 server, thinking mysql data would be installed to /var/lib/mysql, with a symlink /home/mysql -> /var/lib/mysql as detailed here:

Version 1.54.0 | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base

www.directadmin.com

and as is the case on several Debian 9 servers we're running. I created a large /var partition because of this, but noticed mysql data is instead installed to /home/mysql:

# ls -l /usr/local/mysql/data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 20 13:06 /usr/local/mysql/data -> /home/mysql
# ls -l /home |grep -i mysql
drwx--x--x 5 mysql   mysql    4096 Jan 20 16:46 mysql

Also, there is no mysql.sh script present in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/ .

Is this specifically related to Debian 10? Will this cause any problems and am I better off reinstalling Directadmin on Debian 9?

If you shut mysql down, you could simply do this then:

mv /usr/local/mysql/data /var/lib/mysql
ln -sf /var/lib/mysql /home/mysql
