#BEGIN CONFIG INFO #DESCR: 4GB RAM, InnoDB only, ACID, few connections, heavy queries #TYPE: SYSTEM #END CONFIG INFO # # This is a MySQL example config file for systems with 4GB of memory # running mostly MySQL using InnoDB only tables and performing complex # queries with few connections. # # MySQL programs look for option files in a set of # locations which depend on the deployment platform. # You can copy this option file to one of those # locations. For information about these locations, see: # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/option-files.html # # In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports. # If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program # with the "--help" option. # # More detailed information about the individual options can also be # found in the manual. # # # The following options will be read by MySQL client applications. # Note that only client applications shipped by MySQL are guaranteed # to read this section. If you want your own MySQL client program to # honor these values, you need to specify it as an option during the # MySQL client library initialization. # [client] #password = [your_password] port = 3306 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # *** Application-specific options follow here *** # # The MySQL server # [mysqld] # generic configuration options port = 3306 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # back_log is the number of connections the operating system can keep in # the listen queue, before the MySQL connection manager thread has # processed them.

However, in case you choose this method, then # start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example # if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to # connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later # changes in this file to the variable values below will be ignored and # overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown # the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server. # For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched # (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above) # # required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1 # (and different from the master) # defaults to 2 if master-host is set # but will not function as a slave if omitted #server-id = 2 # # The replication master for this slave - required #master-host = <hostname> # # The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting # to the master - required #master-user = <username> # # The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to # the master - required #master-password = <password> # # The port the master is listening on. # optional - defaults to 3306 #master-port = <port> # Make the slave read-only.
