Does MySQL included with MAMP not include a config file?

Question

I can't seem to find the my.cnf or other config file for the MySQL that comes with MAMP. Does it not include one?

I want to use NetBeans for Java/MySQL Development and many articles on the web suggest that I comment out a line in my.cnf

---

Resolved this by editing the MySQL startup parameters file and commenting out "skip-networking".

skip-networking

in /etc/my.cnf

changed to:

#skip-networking

I understand that MAMP doesn't have a my.cnf so how can I get NetBeans to work with MySQL?

Answer 2

MAMP uses it's own my.cnf which should be editted IN MAMP.

1. Open MAMP application
2. Go to File => Edit Template => MySQL my.cnf
3. Make your desired changes
4. Restart server
5. Check e.g. by running query SHOW VARIABLES
