I have checked for other occurences of my.cnf and ive found only one occurence /etc/my.cnf.
I then went ahead to fix in my values eg query_cache_size etc.
after saving and literally rebooting, the values in my.cnf have not been applied. im using centos 5.6, LAMP on apache 2, mysql 5.0.77
any help?
here is the content of /etc/init.d/mysyld
#!/bin/bash
#

# the MySQL subsystem (mysqld).
