/etc/my.cnf is the *global* configuration file. Settings for a specific
mysql server do not belong there. Server-specific settings go in that
server's data directory. This is described in the manual
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Option_files.html> and
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Multiple_servers.html>.

Hello, I have two installations of mysql on my computer a stable 4.x version
and the aplha 5.x version. I want to use a separate my.cnf file for my 5.x
version. But as soon as I start the mysqld_safe it tries to read /etc/my.cnf
which belongs to my 4.x server. This of course is not what I want. I have
placed the my.cnf in the root directory of my mysql5 directory
(/usr/local/mysql5/my.cnf) but I dont know how to force mysqld_safe to read
that file and not the one in /etc/my.cnf.
Could someone give my a solution on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
