Description Steve Kwok 2006-03-27 19:19:24 UTC 
After update mysql to 5.0.18 (I tried 5.0.19 as well) mysqlclient no longer look for my.cnf in /etc/mysql. All connection charset fall back to latin1(I specify all connect to utf8). After cp my.cnf from /etc/mysql to /etc and then it works again.

when I run mysql --help it shows
--------------------------------------------------
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
--------------------------------------------------

Previously it is 
--------------------------------------------------
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
--------------------------------------------------

The strange thing is that there is no my.cnf in all three directory neither. However it works.
