mysql find my.cnf,我如何找到MySQL my.cnf位置

Is there a MySQL command to locate the my.cnf configuration file, similar to how PHP's phpinfo() locates its php.ini?

解决方案

There is no internal MySQL command to trace this, it's a little too abstract. The file might be in 5 (or more?) locations, and they would all be valid because they load cascading.

/etc/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf

$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf

[datadir]/my.cnf

~/.my.cnf

Those are the default locations MySQL looks at. If it finds more than one, it will load each of them & values override each other (in the listed order, I think). Also, the --defaults-file parameter can override the whole thing, so... basically, it's a huge pain in the butt.

But thanks to it being so confusing, there's a good chance it's just in /etc/my.cnf.

(if you just want to see the values: SHOW VARIABLES, but you'll need the permissions to do so.)
