My.cnf for mysql

v3
#1

Hi, I just installed mysqltuner.pl to tune mysql.

Coming from cPanel/Apache i’m used to having the main mysql config file at /etc/.my.cnf Is there any particular place I would find this file, or how should I create a new one to use?

Thanks, jim

my.cnf file can be present under multiple location.

Easyengine creates my.cnf file at location ~/.my.cnf with installation run as root user.

Absolute path is /root/.my.cnf.

Thanks, for consistency I’ve added /etc/my.cnf as the stackoverflow thread mentions it is one of the locations searched, and that’s where I’m used to adding performance variables on cPanel/Apache.

Thank you.
