mysqllinuxcentoscentos6my.cnf

my.cnf file missing and cannot be found at any directory

I recently removed mysql 5.1 an installed mysql 5.6 on my CENTOS 6 x86 OS. When I try to look for the my.cnf file it is missing from these directories:

mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"

=

/etc/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and ~/.my.cnf.

Now I went to my mysql home directory which is /var/lib/mysql to find the .cnf file but all I found was auto.cnf.

Does anyone have any ideas? Could I just download a my.cnf file and place it in one of those directories?

Solution

  • sudo updatedb && locate my.cnf
