MySQL ignores config file

#1

I've copied my-medium.cnf to /etc/my.cnf and MySQL continues to ignore it. I
set port=3307 just to screw up the server, but nothing changes; the server
remains on 3306. I would like to move the location of my database but I
can't do that if MySQL won't read the config file (I'd rather not do this
with command-line options). Any ideas? I tried putting it in /usr/local as
well, but no change. There are no other my.cnf files on the system.

RedHat 7.3
MySQL 4.0.20 Standard binary distro

OK, scratch that. Somehow the programs were figuring out that MySQL was
running on 3307 and miraculously started using that instead.
