Location of my.cnf

Hello,

I am running Plesk Contro Panel 8.6.0. I would like to make a few settings in the my.cnf, however I have not had any luck locating the file. It is not in the original path /etc/my.cnf - and the 'locate' command does not work on the server. So I am kind of stuck.

Do anyone have an idea to my problem?

Regards
Anders
 
For example:

[root@plesk860 ~]# cat /usr/local/psa/version
8.6.0 RedHat el4 86090814.11
[root@plesk860 ~]# rpm -qf /etc/my.cnf
mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1
[root@plesk860 ~]#

So, correct path is /etc/my.cnf
 
It is running on Ubuntu. The command "rpm" does not exist either on it either.
 
Ubuntu, for example:

root@ubuntu-804:/# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 8.04.1 \n \l

root@ubuntu-804:/# ls /etc/mysql/my.cnf
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
root@ubuntu-804:/# dpkg -S /etc/mysql/my.cnf
mysql-common: /etc/mysql/my.cnf
root@ubuntu-804:/#
