Need to find the config file for mysql
 
I just upgraded to the latest mysql with the binary from the mysql site. It has changed a few things relative to the paths that I was used to in the default CentOS install.

Does anyone know where the default location is for the my.cnf file?

No idea, but the following will find it for you. Look for the one with the latest date. The updatedb only needs to be done when there are new files, and is likely already being called daily by cron.

sudo updatedb && locate my.cnf | xargs ls -al

Well, how did you configure it or was it an RPM? I'd take the other replies suggestion, just locate it or find it. Sometimes they won't have a default, maybe an example you can copy from or use, etc.
