set max_connections MySQL?

How do I set the max_connections to a higher number in MySQL version 3.23.49a?

I also want to make the max_connection_errors higher.

I figured it out. Even though I didn't have a my.cnf, which confused me to start with, I just created it in the /etc directory. Put the following in there:

[mysqld]
set-variable = max_connections=300
set-variable = max_connect_errors=150

Then started and stopped MySQL. And checked the variables (show variables) and it worked.
