今天碰到一个特别郁闷的问题，启动mysql数据库时报错：[ERROR] Found option without preceding group in config file /etc/my.cnf at line 7!
我进行了以下几步进行了排除检查

my.cnf文件编码格式的调整

1、notepad++保存文件确保编码使用utf-8
2、安装dos2unix并进行转换

yum install dos2unix
dos2unix /etc/my.cnf

3、vim编辑文件底部显示[converted]，vim编辑时输入以下内容

:set fileencoding=utf-8

然后保存
然而这三种方法都解决不了

调整my.cnf内容

之前datadir前面是没有[mysqld]的，后面发现调整了[mysqld]才顺利解决了

[mysqld]
datadir=/opt/mysql/data
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
