I recently upgraded MySQL 5.5 to 5.6 because I needed some features but now Im not sure which my.cnf 5.6 loads...
I try editing the my.cnf in /etc with some lines such as "port=hello" but it still loads and starts correctly.
How can I see the exact route of the my.cnf it is loading? Thank you
MySql looks in a set of predefined locations. But you can specify the option file (that's how they call the config file) by using the --defaults-file parameter. Note this parameter has to precede all other parameters at the command line.
