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.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Please note that /etc/mysql/my.cnf file 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.
Hope that helps!
Cheers, Lalitha
