  2. The configuration file “my.cnf” located in the /etc directory.
  3. The configuration file for MySQL located at /usr/local/mysql/my.cnf.
  4. The configuration file for MySQL located in /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.

You can find MySQL’s configuration file my.cnf by using the following command:

This will search for a file named my.cnf throughout the entire file system and display its path. You can find the actual path of the my.cnf file based on the output.
