Optimization of my.cnf

[igordr]

Hello,

I have problems with mySQL. In some of my sites, i get error at the top of the page:

Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in 
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_2768563f6f13c08c044c710c554aaa37, O_RDWR) failed: No space left on device (28) in /home/stranifi/public_html/musicvideo.php on line 17

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/stranifi/public_html/musicvideo.php:17) in /home/stranifi/public_html/musicvideo.php on line 17

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/stranifi/public_html/musicvideo.php:17) in /home/stranifi/public_html/musicvideo.php on line 17

Mentioned problems appeared suddenly. I didn't do anything.
My server configuration is:

HDD 2x 500 GB SATARAM
6 GB DDR2-RAM
CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 3400+, Dual-Core
Template CentOS 6 - minimal - RAID 1

I have about 15k unique visitors every day.

My present my.cnf file looks like this:

[mysqld]
max_connections=500
join_buffer_size = 2M
tmp_table_size = 24M
max_heap_table_size = 24M
query_cache_size = 512M
query_cache_limit = 512M
key_buffer=256M
key_buffer_size = 1332M
thread_cache_size = 16K
table_cache = 1K
table_definition_cache = 4K
open_files_limit = 3K
table_open_cache = 96
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 27M
long_query_time = 5
slow_query_log
local-infile=0

What i should tweak to get error disappear and get mySQL to work again?

THANKS,
Igor

-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
    Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries
    Reduce or eliminate persistent connections to reduce connection usage
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Set thread_cache_size to 4 as a starting value
    Increase table_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
Variables to adjust:
    max_connections (> 151)
    wait_timeout (< 28800)
    interactive_timeout (< 28800)
    query_cache_size (>= 8M)
    join_buffer_size (> 128.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
    tmp_table_size (> 16M)
    max_heap_table_size (> 16M)
    thread_cache_size (start at 4)
    table_cache (> 64)

First optimize the databases by running this command
mysqlcheck -u root -r -e --auto-repair --check --optimize --all-databases

Then review through the recommendation

Query cache is disabled so enable it
Highest connection usage: 100% (152/151) so make the connection higher than this amount

MySQL optimization will be unable to fix MySQL errors occurring on a site, since the error referred to isn't in reference to MySQL failing to run. If MySQL were overloaded and that were causing site errors, that could be helped by optimization. The first error reported would be a different cause entirely.

Here's a discussion on the error you reported:

php - mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in - Stack Overflow

Did you make changes to the code on the site recently or upgrade MySQL? What are the sites running that are showing the error? If it's a specific application, it might be an issue with the MySQL version and the application or with the application itself.

My.Cnf now looks like:

[mysqld]
set-variable = max_connections=500
query_cache_limit       = 2M
query_cache_size        = 256M
table_cache = 400
thread_cache_size = 286

May you help me to optimize my.cnf according to my server overview ?

Thanks

[Webinx]

Can a link-to-db problem cause this error?

[albatroz]

Hi!,
What do you think of the mysqltuner.pl results of my server?
BTW,
How do I get the MySQL root password for making a database optimization?

Hello,

I have problems with mySQL. In some of my sites, i get error at the top of the page:

You need to check size of the /tmp partition. It appears to be full.
