Using MySQL in an OpenBSD environment
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
If you are installing MySQL for the first time, you have to create
|
|
a default database first. In order to create the database, please run
|
|
${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/mysql_install_db
|
|
|
|
You will need to tune the values in the my.cnf file (examples
|
|
available in ${TRUEPREFIX}/share/mysql).
|
|
|
|
By default, the _mysql user, and so the mysqld processes run in
|
|
the login(1) class of "daemon". On a busy server, it may be advisable
|
|
to put the _mysql user and processes in their own login(1) class
|
|
with tuned resources, such as more open file descriptors etc.
|
|
|
|
For example, add this to the login.conf(5) file:
|
|
|
|
mysqld:\
|
|
:openfiles-cur=1024:\
|
|
:openfiles-max=2048:\
|
|
:tc=daemon:
|
|
|
|
Rebuild the login.conf.db file if necessary:
|
|
|
|
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
|
|
|
|
mysqld_safe(1) is the recommended way to start a MySQL server,
|
|
it creates the directory for the socket and adds some safety
|
|
features such as restarting the server when an error occurs
|
|
and logging runtime information to an error log file. Options
|
|
may be passed in the [mysqld_safe] section of my.cnf.
|
|
|
|
For larger servers and dedicated database servers, these numbers
|
|
and memory limits (e.g. datasize and stacksize) may also need to be
|
|
increased. Please report any changes and experiences to the package
|
|
maintainers so that we can update this file for future versions.
