With MySQL, a my.cnf can be used specify configuration properties. MySQL may look in a variety of places to find this file, and if it doesn't find it may use built-in defaults.
How do you know what my.cnf is being used?

mysqld --help --verbose | grep -B 1 cnf
Beneath the "Default options are read from the following files in the given order:" line will be the locations MySQL is looking for the my.cnf file.
