I am trying to set the ft_min_word_len variable for fulltext se

Answer 1

Keep you my.cnf file in <XAMPP>\mysql\bin folder and try again.

Answer 2

mysql config file would usually be found on in windows your installation drive:\XAMPP\mysql\bin\my.ini or

Linux under etc\my.cnf. if you does not get ft_min_word_len variable below the lines you simply add those line anywhere in the page

[mysqld]

ft_min_word_len = 3

then restart mysql server.
