looking for my.ini that I am using in mysql workbench

I am using mysql workbench on my windows7 desktop

I have installed mysql many times on my computer because I have mysql, wamp and zend php framework

how can I find the my.ini that corresponds to the mysql workbench localhost I am using in the query window

Chris Stanyon

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.

I am asking if I could type a command in mysql workbench and run a query
Where my.ini

and query would return a file path

Chris Stanyon

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.
