sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Add the following line into the section [mysqld]:
skip-innodb
Next locate the line skip-external-locking and add skip-locking below that line.
Now find the section labeled “Fine Tuning”. Change/add the settings in that section to match those below:
key_buffer = 16K
max_allowed_packet = 1M
thread_stack = 64K
thread_cache_size = 4
sort_buffer = 64K
net_buffer_length = 2K
Save the file (ctrl+x) and restart MySQL: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
If you run MySQLtuner again you will see that the “memory” warning is gone, ignore the aother warnings for the moment (you need to run the script after a few days again to get exact test results)
Optimize Apache in prefork mode
If you followed the Ubuntu tutorial we’ve mentioned in the first paragraph, your Apache setup should run in prefork mode. The default settings are much to high, open the file sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf andchange the following settings:
Timeout 45
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 200
KeepAliveTimeout 3
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 30
MaxRequestsPerChild 2000
That’s all, restart Apache using sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart. If you know more tweaks, please share.
