Adam, you should look upon this as an opportunity to write a my.cnf that suits your application and hardware. Understanding the options in this configuration can be paramount to a well tuned server.
a few resources to kick it all off... http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqld-option-tables.html http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql_intro.html#SECTION0001500000 http://ronaldbradford.com/blog/tag/my-cnf/ Andy ________________________________________ From: ext Adarsh Sharma [adarsh.sha...@orkash.com] Sent: 30 December 2010 06:37 To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: my.cnf file Dear all, I am able to install Mysql-5.1.4 o a Linux Machine without any error. All is working fine. But I am searching a file my.cnf which is most important and is used in mysql but cannot able to find it. I install mysql by yum install mysql-server and yum install mysql-client commands. I find only a folder in /var/lib/ i.e mysql folder that contains ibdata and database folder plus .sock and .err file. After some research i find default path of my.cnf is /etc/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/my.cnf, /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf. But couldn,t locate it as it is needed for changing data dirs. Please help.
