I am trying to create a Koha instance using MySQL on a remote server. https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian#Create_a_Koha_instance states: "create a new file in its place containing the connection information for the server, in the form of a my.cnf file." but no example is given. I would assume this somehow allows specification of all of hostname, username and password, but it is entirely unclear currently how to do this. Could someone kindly add an example or give more details of what format exactly "the connection information" should be in? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html has no mention of a password configuration for instance.
I've updated the wiki to be a bit more explicit about what's required.
