modify max_connections

Hi,

May I ask how do I modify the max_connections of mysql in Plesk 8?

Furthermore, any suggestion on how large should i set this value for 1G RAM? Thanks

Regards,
Baako
 
Try the following within /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
set-variable = max_connections=500

Change the 500 with the value you want

Then restart mysql
 
Thanks a lot Zella :)

However, I do not have the file (my.cnf) under /etc. Should I create one myself?

Just FYI

- I am using Plesk 8 under FreeBSD 6
- My other server (Redhat and FC) do have such file under /etc/, but not on my Plesk 8 FreeBSD 6 server.

Thanks.

Regards,
Baako
 
Seems not installed by default for FreeBSD OS

Then you can try to create this file with all informations you need.

Regards.
 
BUG: Plesk has insufficient maximum mysql connections FreeBSD

FIX: Create /usr/local/psa/mysql/var/my.cnf and increase the maximum connections in the config file. An example of my.cnf would be:

quote:
[mysqld]
set-variable = max_connections=2500

Pulled and revised from JShanley's FreeBSD Plesk Tips post, its not directly related, but solves the issue for FreeBSD.
