External Since: Feb 21, 2005 Posts: 1

I have a freebsd box with 1 gig of memory for mysql/php, I was
wondering what my my.cnf should look like, I am doing alot of searches
and writes on ISAM tables, I currently have the following:

[client]
port=3306
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

[mysqld]
port=3306
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
max_connections=300
interactive_timeout=10
wait_timeout=10
connect_timeout=10
thread_cache_size=256
key_buffer=256M
max_allowed_packet=15M
table_cache=1024
sort_buffer=2M
record_buffer=1M
join_buffer=1M
thread_cache=1028
thread_concurrency=4
query_cache_limit=1M
query_cache_size=32M
query_cache_type=1
ft_min_word_len =3
delay_key_write=ALL

You can reference the comments in the sample files installed on you
system.
The sample files are: my-huge.cnf, my-large.cnf, my-medium.cnf, and
my-small.cnf
By reading the comments in each of those files, you can get a good idea
of which one most closely matches your needs.
