Enabling mysql Event scheduler on server restarts

mysql, phpmyadmin, scheduling

Solution

You should set 'ON' value (not ENABLED).

In the configuration file in [mysqld] section specify 'event-scheduler' option (not event_scheduler).

Also, you can start your MySQL server with '--event-scheduler' option, e.g. -

shell> mysqld --event-scheduler=ON

More information - event_scheduler system variable.

Problem

I am running phpmyadmin and installed apache server on my personal computer. My problem is that I am trying to set MySQL `event_scheduler` to always be enabled even when the server restarts. I was reading that by setting the following command line in the server configuration file (`my.cnf` or `my.ini`) it should work: `event_scheduler=DISABLED`. However, where do I locate this `my.cnf` or `my.ini` file, and also should the command line be `event_scheduler=DISABLED` or `event_scheduler=ENABLED` seeing that I want it to always be enabled?
