The MySQL Server Configuration Wizard helps automate the process of configuring your server. It creates a custom MySQL configuration file (my.ini or my.cnf) by asking you a series of questions and then applying your responses to a template to generate the configuration file that is tuned to your installation.

The MySQL Server Configuration Wizard is included with the MySQL 5.0 server. For Community Server users, the MySQL Server Configuration Wizard is available only for Windows. For Enterprise Server users, the MySQL Server Configuration Wizard is included as part of the standard Enterprise Installer.

The MySQL Server Configuration Wizard is to a large extent the result of feedback that we have received from many users over a period of several years. However, if you find that it lacks some feature important to you, please report it in our bugs database using the instructions given in Section 1.7, “How to Report Bugs or Problems”.
