I have MySQL Server 5.1 installed on my computer (complete), and I can't seem to find the my.cnf file. I don't even have the etc directory. And I've also done a complete search for it but no results... Can anyone help me out here?

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Are you using windows?

/etc is a *nix configuration directory so I am guessing you are running MySql in Windows.

See this page regarding the my.cnf file on windows.
