    • mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.22-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

      Distributor ID: Ubuntu
      Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
      Release: 20.04
      Codename: focal

    Description

      At default setup Ubuntu creates this file:
      /etc/mysql/my.cnf

      its a symlink:
      /etc/mysql/my.cnf -> /etc/alternatives/my.cnf

      So, then you trying to change something in config files you have zero reaction, and you cant debug it by service mariadb restart - it restarts and everything works, but config is ingored because of this:

      # mysql -u root -p
      Warning: World-writable config file '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' is ignored
      

      So you can spend a hours to guess that is going on.
