| hi all... i have a 5.0.33 build from source on a freebsd 4.10 machine... i'm looking for a my.cnf file. ps tells me that the base dir is /usr/local but there is no my.cnf there. and i cant find one anywhere. i can get all the variables set up from the cli but i need to change some of them. i guess i can use mysqladmin but just wondering - can i just do a cnf under /usr/local/etc with the variables i need to change? ktrace is showing me that mysqld is not looking for any .cnf?! i mean i can try that but it's a very busy server and i wouldn't mess to much with it. thanks... |

You can ask mysqld where it looks for its configuration files. Here's a Debian system: baron@tigger ~ $ mysql --help --verbose | grep cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf /usr/etc/my.cnf |
