Problem under Win2000 with any file having a .cnf extension.
That extension is reserved by Win2000 as a system (Speed Dial) file
and will automatically hide the extension from you.
You can't search for it and it will not show it. IF you create a my.cnf
file, it appears as "my"
I use 'WINNT\my.ini' just fine as documented in 4.16.5 of the Manual
and it works well.

Fred

Subject: MySQL: my.cnf in Windows 2000
Anybody:
I've installed (and got working!) MySQL on my Windows 2000 pc and am trying
to use the "my.cnf" file.
1) The manual says that my.cnf is included in the installation and that I
should copy it to c:\my.cnf. ("Copy the file `\mysql\my-xxxxx.cnf' to
`C:\my.cnf' and edit it to suit your setup.") However I searched and
searched for the suggested file and could not find it (or anything like
it...);
2) I created my own c:\my.cnf based on the my.ini file but it didn't work
(i.e. the commands I put in to my.cnf had no effect);
3) I then put the same options into my.ini and everything worked just fine.
I'm wondering 1) if using my.ini is O.K.; and 2) am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Phil
