Does MySQL included with MAMP not include a config file?

I can't seem to find the my.cnf or other config file for the MySQL that comes with MAMP. Does it not include one?

Solution

  • The MySQL server of MAMP (not PRO) will be started without any my.cnf file. But you can create your own my.cnf file.

    1. Stop servers
    2. Create a my.cnf file in /Applications/MAMP/conf/
    3. Add your content in to my.cnf
    4. Save my.cnf
    5. Start servers

    You do not have to put a complete configuration in the my.cnf file. You can just add parts of a configuration ... for example:

    [mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 64M
