It should be in /var/db/mysql/my.cnf.

Hi Guys,
I have installed MySQL 5.0.45 server on a new FreeBSD 6.2 boxen,
and having some problems restoring a 10GB database backup to the
new server. The error I receive is max_allowed_packet too large.
When I change the value for max_allowed_packet and set it to 100M,
or 500M, or 1G, or 1000M, or 8589934592 (bits), it does not appear
to be changing the value in MySQL.
I only have one configuration file located in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
which is where I am setting the max_allowed_packet value.
After altering this value, I restart MySQL (or even the entire
server) and then log into mysql and do a "show variables;" command.
The max_allowed_packet variable is ALWAYS set to 1048576 (1M), and
has not changed no matter what I try.
Is the my.cnf file in the right location (/etc/mysql/)??? How can I
check where MySQL is reading the configuration from if there is a
possibility it is not coming from this location???
Not sure if this additional information is of any use, in the
rc.conf file I have changed the database directory by using
mysql_dbdir="/db/mysql".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hartleigh Burton
