But, i cannot find the file anywhere. I have searched the whole computer. What do I do?
Go to xampp\mysql\bin folder and look for a file
my which looks like a shortcut or in newer XAMPP versions look for my.ini file.
Open your text editor, notepad for example, and drag that
my file into the opened notepad window for editing.
Continue to edit then save the file and restart MySQL.
It helps if we know what XAMPP version you are using as in the latest versions the file is named
my.ini and in older versions it was named simply
my.
