Not mysql variables?

[matthewamzn]

I recently setup a new server. I tried to change the mysql fulltext functions, by altering the my.cnf file.

However my server administrator said that these weren't mysql variables:
ft_min_word_len=1
ft_stopword_file = /etc/noisewords.txt

The altered my.cnf file looked like this:

[mysqld]
safe-show-database
innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:10M:autoextend
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
ft_min_word_len=1
ft_stopword_file = /etc/noisewords.txt

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

[myisamchk]
ft_min_word_len=1
ft_stopword_file = /etc/noisewords.txt

It's probably the version you are running. The minimum and maximum length of words to be indexed is defined by the

ft_min_word_len

and

ft_max_word_len

system variables which are available as of MySQL 4.0.0.

ft_stopword_file

was added in MySQL 4.0.10.

Is there anyway to set the min max keyword length, and stopwords with mysql 3.23.58. I now it has fulltext search capabilities. I'm running Plesk CP, which isn't compatible with Mysql 4.

I've never attempted it myself. I do not know if it is even possible at that release level. The best I can offer at this point is the manual pages ...
