Where can I find my.cnf or my.ini?

Question

I read about MySQL replication and I need to change some configuration, but I can not find my.cnf or my.ini file. I don’t know which version of MySQL I have, but I downloaded it a long time ago, like .zip. Windows 7 64 works in my box. Where can I find this file? Should I create it? Where? Thank.

Answer 1

At the moment I do not have a window, but I think that it should be in the directory C:\WINDOWS\.

When calling GNU / Linux help with is mysql --helpdisplayed (excerpt):

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf 

, Windows.

Btw: mysql --version .
