I have a wordpress site which I am managing using C-panel. I want to edit "ft_min_word_len" in MySQL config file. However, I don't seem to be able to find it. Do i need to do such edits in the wp-config.php file? If so, how?

No, they are to be made in the mysql config file, check in one of the default locations listed [here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/option-files.html). Most likely under `/etc/my.cnf` or `/etc/mysql/my.cnf` – Solarflare Aug 28 '16 at 11:15

I cant find it anywhere in the files. Is there a way to get it not using the file explorer? – Isdj Aug 28 '16 at 13:14

@IsaacDj The mysql config file is not in the sites directory (assuming you mean everything accessable through the browser or the wordpress admin panel). Try `ssh` or `ftp` to login (I'm not sure what you mean by file explorer, the cpanel file manager might show it under `/etc` if you have access to it). If you use a shared hosting service, you probably cannot change the mysql options yourself. Are you able/allowed to start and stop your mysql service? You can try to just add a config file in one of the mentioned locations. – Solarflare Aug 28 '16 at 16:22
