Asked by Mutterz
I have installed PHPMyAdmin using the marketplace. Everything is really but I can’t seem to find the my.cnf file to set memory usage and other settings. I looked in a few places such as etc and MySQL but just can’t seem to find the file. Any help would be great.

Hello @Mutterz ,
The default location is
/etc/my.cnfor/etc/mysql/my.cnfPlease note that
/etc/mysql/my.cnffile is not really a file but a symlink. If you want to make some changes to your MySQL variables, you need to make the change in the MySQL daemon config file located at/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf.https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/assistance-with-mysql-my-cnf-file-preventing-mysql-from-starting?answer=63542
Hope that helps!
