my.cnf Per Server Settings

My.cnf settings can be configured on a per server basis for both MySQL and MariaDB.

Before applying any settings, Enhance will check that the mysql server accepts the settings without generating an error. For settings to apply a MySQL restart will be required.

To configure my.cnf settings on a per server basis:

  1. Open Servers in the left side bar
  2. Locate the server you would like to edit
  3. Select Manage in the drop down
  4. Scroll to Roles
  5. Select the Database tab and click my.cnf
  6. Click Save to finish

Common settings to change here might include:

  • sql_mode
  • key_buffer_size
  • sort_buffer_size
  • innodb_buffer_pool_size
  • max_allowed_packet

This is not an exhaustive list and you should research and test any changes prior to making them in a production environment.
