On UNIX and Linux machines, there are a few places that MySQL will look for your my.cnf. The are detailed at: http://www.mysql.com/doc/O/p/Option_files.html However if none of these files exist, then MySQL will use the default values assigned for all neccesary settings. You can then just create the option files using your preferred text editor and next time you restart mysqld it will use those new values you specified.
