This is a pretty simple question about setting parameters in my.cnf file for mysql 5.1.
This page gives me parameters that I can configure:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-parameters.html
and so I think I will need to write
key_buffer_size = 256M
But when I open my current my.cnf, it has a line:
key_buffer = 16M
My question is: do I need "key_buffer_size" or "key_buffer" or does it not matter what I use? And, how would I know if something in my.cnf is wrong? Where does the daemon run the log file?
I am running ubuntu; I think version 8.04 LTS
