Hi all. I promise this is my last question before I flip the switch on this new installation. I was using 1.1.7 and I had a number of problems with sqlippool handing out duplicate IPs, stop records not getting recorded, etc. Only under many requests (20-30) at one time. It was ok with small load. I have 2.1.3 ready to go but am not sure Im going to suffer from the same problems. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set up mysql to optimize its performance for sqlippool? It seemed that if two requests come in right at the right time, it would hand out the same IP to 2 different users before there was a chance it was recorded. Its a dual core 3.0ghz machine that also has mysql running for mail server authentication for about 220 users. This is my current config. # /etc/mysql/my.cnf: The global mysql configuration file. # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/dev-db/mysql/files/my.cnf-4.1,v 1.3 2006/05/05 19:51:40 chtekk Exp $ # The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients [client] #password = your_password port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysql] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets default-character-set=utf8 [mysqladmin] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets default-character-set=utf8 [mysqlcheck] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets default-character-set=utf8 [mysqldump] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets default-character-set=utf8 [mysqlimport] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets default-character-set=utf8 [mysqlshow] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets default-character-set=utf8 [myisamchk] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets [myisampack] character-sets-dir=/usr/share/mysql/charsets # use [safe_mysqld] with mysql-3 [mysqld_safe] err-log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.err # add a section [mysqld-4.1] or [mysqld-5.0] for specific configurations [mysqld] max_connections = 500 character-set-server = utf8 default-character-set = utf8 user = mysql port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid log-error = /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err basedir = /usr datadir = /var/lib/mysql skip-locking key_buffer = 64M max_allowed_packet = 8M table_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 2M net_buffer_length = 8K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M language = /usr/share/mysql/english # old_passwords = 1 # security: # using "localhost" in connects uses sockets by default # skip-networking #bind-address = 127.0.0.1 log-bin server-id = 1 # point the following paths to different dedicated disks tmpdir = /tmp/ #log-update = /path-to-dedicated-directory/hostname # you need the debug USE flag enabled to use the following directives, # if needed, uncomment them, start the server and issue # #tail -f /tmp/mysqld.sql /tmp/mysqld.trace # this will show you *exactly* what's happening in your server ;) #log = /tmp/mysqld.sql #gdb #debug = d:t:i:o,/tmp/mysqld.trace #one-thread # uncomment the following directives if you are using BDB tables #bdb_cache_size = 4M #bdb_max_lock = 10000 # the following is the InnoDB configuration # if you wish to disable innodb instead # uncomment just the next line #skip-innodb # # the rest of the innodb config follows: # don't eat too much memory, we're trying to be safe on 64Mb boxes # you might want to bump this up a bit on boxes with more RAM innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M # this is the default, increase it if you have lots of tables innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M # # i'd like to use /var/lib/mysql/innodb, but that is seen as a database :-( # and upstream wants things to be under /var/lib/mysql/, so that's the route # we have to take for the moment #innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ #innodb_log_arch_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ #innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ # you may wish to change this size to be more suitable for your system # the max is there to avoid run-away growth on your machine innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend:max:128M # we keep this at around 25% of of innodb_buffer_pool_size # sensible values range from 1MB to (1/innodb_log_files_in_group*innodb_buffer_pool_size) innodb_log_file_size = 5M # this is the default, increase it if you have very large transactions going on innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M # this is the default and won't hurt you # you shouldn't need to tweak it set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=2 # see the innodb config docs, the other options are not always safe innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 [mysqldump] quick max_allowed_packet = 16M [mysql] # uncomment the next directive if you are not familiar with SQL #safe-updates [isamchk] key_buffer = 20M sort_buffer_size = 20M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [myisamchk] key_buffer = 20M sort_buffer_size = 20M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [mysqlhotcopy] interactive-timeout Thanks for any suggestions!
