Zabbix on Almalinux

[Clausen1998]

Hello everyone

I'm fairly new to Linux, and right now, I'm trying to find the MySQL file where I can adjust the bind address, but I'm having trouble locating it. Some sites say it's located at /etc/my.cnf, but when I open that file, there isn't a line that explicitly says "Bind address." Can someone please help me and maybe tell me where I can find the correct file?

MySQL default files are usually located in the following location:

/etc/my.cnf
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
~/.my.cnf
/usr/etc/my.cnf

Then look for the "bind-address" parameter. If it is commented out, simply uncomment it and set your preferred bind address.

# bind_address=*

You should consult MySQL documentation for more information

Note that the configuration files and parameters may differ depending on your MySQL version and OS distribution.

You don't say what version of AlmaLinux you're using (8.x? 9.x?) or what version of MySQL, but the files you're looking for are probably under /etc/my.cnf.d/

Different Linux distributions ("distros") build their software in different ways.

AlmaLinux is a rebuild/respin of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (aka RHEL), so documentation you find for RHEL will be generally accurate for AlmaLinux.
