Ubuntu – Mysql 5.1 the.cnf not in /etc/thesql

MySQLUbuntu

I installed mysql-server-5.1 on my Ubuntu server using apt-get install mysql-server, but i cant find my.cnf file.

It is not in /etc/mysql.
In /etc/mysql i have only:

conf.d
\-mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf
debian-start
sebian.cnf

I have tried uninstalling/installing mysql multiple times, but still nothing.

Also, when installing mysql, i get messages like this: (i have installed dialog)

debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline

You can copy one from /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples/ . Rename it to my.cnf and place in /etc/mysql/my.cnf

and about dialog , set your TERM environment variable.
