Hello everyone!

I am going to use this server for first time. I followed the documentation and were able to install it correctly and did mysql\_secure\_install.

Server is also started but I am not able to find out my.cnf in /etc.

How to set parameters? Any how-to would be great for initial setup

Also, dont know how to search on this forum.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Ashvin
