  1. Brent my magento chum! Are you getting any good results with this config? Currently implementing a Magento site on Zend Server CE, would these config changes help?

  2. Hi Brent,

    Cheers for these, could really help to get the most out of our database.

    Would you be able to post up the specs of the server that is running this configuration.

    Obviously a lot of these figures depend on the amount of free memory etc. and I would be interested to know if I should scale up or down the figures for our Magento installs.

    Finally, could I suggest you have a look at MySQLTuner it is a free script you can run on the server which looks for the optimal settings for your my.cnf, you can google it to find the site or I have written up a quick overview of why I think it rocks - http://tosbourn.com/2011/09/mysql/mysqltuner/

  3. Toby, thanks for that, I have seen it and I just downloaded it!

    Sorry about the specs, I actually meant to post it but my brain was moving a couple of steps ahead and I forgot :(

    I have a HP Quad Opteron Dual Core, 32gb Memory, Raid 5. (Old HP G1)

    You script was very helpful!

  4. Obviously most people need to adjust this

    innodb_buffer_pool_size=20G

    to something like

    innodb_buffer_pool_size=2G (depending on your memory

    But I have a 4gb Magento database that is a pain to upgrade!

    I will take the script recommendations and update the blog post.

  5. 32GB Memory! Nice one! Presumably all your database operations are done in memory then. We are only rocking 2GB so have to do what we can to stop any swapping out to hard disk.

    Cheers for sharing.

  8. Thank you for this configuration.

    Poison, do you adjust the value of innodb_buffer_pool_size=20G ?
    innodb_buffer_pool_size has to be max 70% of your physical memory and 20 Go is a very big value (because very big amount of memory on its configuration).
