Question

For homebrew mysql installs, where\'s my.cnf? Does it install one?

Answer 1

In case of Homebrew, mysql would also look for my.cnf in it's Cellar directory, for example:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.21/my.cnf

For the case one prefers to keep the config close to the binaries - create my.cnf here if it's missing.

Restart mysql after change:

brew services restart mysql
