Cannot set autocommit to 0 in my.ini file /(my.cfn file)

Question

I am using wamp server so my.ini file is the new my.cfn file. I opened the file with an editor and i scrolled down untill i've seen

[mysqld]

after which i have typed

init_connect='SET autocommit=0'

then i have saved the file restarted my wamp server started mySQL concol and entered the command

SELECT @@autocommit;

I got @@autocommit | 1 but to my understanding it should be zero if the autocommit is off.

Anybody understands whats going on??

especially here:

[17 Aug 2004 11:20] Sergey Gluhov Looks like it's not a bug. If a user has SUPER privilege, init_connect will not execute (otherwise if init_connect will a wrong query no one can connect to server).

Note, if init_connect is a wrong query, the connection is closing without any errors and next command will clause 'lost connection' error.

Maybe you're in the same situation?
