[MrMagoo]

Please assist with recommendations for my.cnf - dedicated server performance very slow.

Thanks in advance.

-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
    MySQL started within last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate
    Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
    Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    Temporary table size is already large - reduce result set size
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Optimize queries and/or use InnoDB to reduce lock wait
Variables to adjust:
  *** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
  *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
    join_buffer_size (> 512.0M, or always use indexes with joins)

Hello

MySQL was only running for 20 minutes when you ran the MySQL tuner script:

Up for: 20m 13s (84K q [69.830 qps], 8K conn, TX: 165M, RX: 13M)

Please let it run for at least 24 hours before running the MySQL tuner script to ensure accurate results.

Thank you.

Ohh, some of your settings are horrible, without any understanding (like join_buffer_size)

Please adjust those:

query_cache_limit=2M
query_cache_size=50M

max_user_connections=100
max_connections=300

key_buffer_size=2000M
join_buffer_size=2M
sort_buffer_size=256K
read_buffer_size=128K

and add slow query tracking (becouse of a lot queries creating temp files on disk)

slow_query_log=1
slow_query_log_file=mysql-slow.log
long_query_time=0.1
log-queries-not-using-indexes

then restart, after a while please run mysqltuner again, and show us here the result
plus,
on slow log, run pt-query-digest

cd /root;
wget http://percona.com/get/pt-query-digest
chmod +x pt-query-digest
./pt-query-digest /var/lib/mysql/mysql-slow.log > slow.txt

and copy slow.txt here, for slow queries review

btw. are you using some CMS with third party plugins, or custom code ?
