Overview

The /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_mysql_conf script builds the default MySQL® configuration file. You can specify startup options on the command line or in a configuration file. MySQL client programs look for a configuration file when they start.

Note:
Command-line options take precedence over settings defined in a configuration file.
