How to generate my.cnf based on existing configuration?

[Jannie Qu]

sql, query

Hi, all,

I started to support on an old mysql production database on SunOS 5.8 and mysql version 3.23.47 with only MyISAM type of tables.

I take a look on /etc/init.d/mysql file, and in this file, it will refer /etc/my.cnf. But there is no my.cnf file at that directory.

I cannot shutdown the database right now in order to test the /etc/init.d/mysql and I am afraid without my.cnf in the specified directory will eventually cause this mysql scrip fail.

So my question is:How to generate my.cnf based on existing configuration?

Thank you and regards,
Jannie
