To modify the my.ini
file, open it with a
text editor and make any necessary changes. You can also
modify the server configuration with the
http://www.mysql.com/products/administrator/ utility.
MySQL clients and utilities such as the
mysql command-line client and
mysqldump are not able to locate the
my.ini
file located in the server
installation directory. To configure the client and utility
applications, create a new my.ini
file in
the c:\Windows
directory.
