Cannot find file “/etc/my.cnf” in MySQL 5.6 (mysql-5.6.26-win32)

I have read this article but I can not find /etc/my.cnf file/folder. I have mysql-5.6.26-win32. Which version of MySQL I have to download for editing this file?


Solution 1:

Since you're on Windows, look in %PROGRAMDATA%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6. It may also be called my.ini.

If you don't see it in there, reference the table of locations on https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/option-files.html
