Matthew Seaman articulated:
Sounds almost as if the my.cnf you've been editing is not the my.cnf
that your mysql instance is using. IIRC there was some talk about
moving from the usual BSD-ish /var/db/mysql/my.cnf to
/usr/local/etc/my.cnf (no doubt under some insidious influence from
Linux.)
The first time I ever looked for "my.cnf" I had expected to find it in
"/usr/local/etc". Since so many configuration files are stored there,
it just seemed like a natural place for it to be located. IMHO, a
centralized repository for configuration files greatly simplifies
system maintenance.
Hence the reason almost all of my config files are symlinked in someway in
/etc/
Call it a habit from spending much of my time using & working on Linux :p
