+#   [mysqld]
+#   basedir=<path-to-mysql-installation-directory>
+# - Add the above to any other configuration file (for example ~/.my.ini)

+# - Add the path to the mysql-installation-directory to the basedir variable
+#   below.
+#
+# If you want to affect other MySQL variables, you should make your changes
