title: unknown variable 'default-storage-engine=myisam'
body: <p>I am trying to configure Mysql (Ver 14.15 Distrib 6.0.8-alpha, for Win64) to use MyISAM as the default storage engine on Windows 7. I've created C:\my.cnf with the following contents:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[mysql]
  default-storage-engine=myisam
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And after restarting the mysql service and attempting to run mysql from the console, I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql: unknown variable 'default-storage-engine=myisam'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've been working from tutorials and have copied and pasted the above directly into my my.cnf file.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried a combination of the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>set default-storage-engine=myisam
  storage-engine=mysiam
  set storage-engine=mysiam
  </code></pre>
