That came up with no results as well. I am very close to 100% sure that 
neither file exists on my system.

No, it's accessing and using the MySQL databases that I built in MySQL 
before this whole thing started. With phpMyAdmin I seem to have full 
access to all MySQL data and functions.

Surely there's a way I can force my system to accept a new, default 
my.cnf file? After all, it must have got one from somewhere when it 
first installed.
