使用MySQL登陆数据库报错
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -uroot -p
mysql: unknown variable 'basedir=/usr'

报错原因：
配置文件里面的格式有误，[mysqld]写成了[mysql]
[root@localhost step]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysql]
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
log-error = /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.err
pid-file = /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.pid
log-bin=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld-bin
binlog_format=row
binlog-do-db=dmcdbTEST

解决方法：
将[mysql]改为[mysqld]
[root@localhost step]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
log-error = /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.err
pid-file = /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.pid
log-bin=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld-bin
binlog_format=row
binlog-do-db=dmcdbTEST

之后重启数据库
[root@localhost mysql]# mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown
[root@localhost mysql]# mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf &

数据库可以正常连接
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -uroot -p
