I like to install the my.cnf in another directory and not the default /etc/my.cnf
When I move this file to another directory it can't start anymore.
Is there a way to install my.cnf in a different location and which file need to be updated to look into the new
No official way. You can make a symbolic link at /etc/my.cnf that points to your new location.
I don't even have a my.cnf on any of my *nix boxes, and MySQL runs fine. Does this only come into play with precompiled binaries?
No.
Option files are, er, optional.
Why would the OP not be able to start MySQL when moving the config file then?

Not trying to be a smartass....just want to know in case I run into the same problem sometime in the future.
