I am seeing you're using an operate system based on Red Hat distro. Well, after install MySQL via yum or via rpm packages, the location of MySQL samples configuration file usually is /usr/share/mysql.
After to check the existence of sample configuration files (my-huge.cnf, my-large.cnf, my-medium.cnf ...), use linux command line "cp" to copy it to /etc or /etc/mysql and restart mysqld. Could you check it?
