my.ini is for the server installation, not the software installation, and will be stored in your mysql folder.

It will depend on where you installed wamp. My copy is stored here:

C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\my.ini

Yours may differ.

No - that can't be done.

Note: I have wamp, xampp (uninstalled and deleted), php zend framework installed.
C:\xampp\ does not exist in windows explorer (even with show hidden files and folders).

Please do not just tell me to uninstall my entire computer so I can find the actual my.ini


using mysql workbench

menu->server->options file

there are error dialog boxes that appear stating I am not using the correct my.ini file and a new one has to be created.

there are error dialog boxes that appear stating I am not using the correct mysqld file and a new one has to be created.

Thanks

So I think I will uninstall and reinstall -- when stuff starts going wrong.
Until then, mysql is running

And I should keep track of my own computer installations.
