Mysql – Mariadb refusing to read values on the the.cnf file

configurationmariadbMySQL

today i was optimizing my mariadb since my website was running too slow
My machine is a Centos 7 , 4 gbs ram 3 cpu

i runned a script called mysql_tuner.pl and the results were:

        -- MYSQL PERFORMANCE TUNING PRIMER --
             - By: Matthew Montgomery -

MySQL Version 5.5.40-MariaDB x86_64

SLOW QUERIES
The slow query log is NOT enabled.
Current long_query_time = 10.000000 sec.
You have 0 out of 37 that take longer than 10.000000 sec. to complete
Your long_query_time seems to be fine

BINARY UPDATE LOG
The binary update log is NOT enabled.
You will not be able to do point in time recovery
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/point-in-time-recovery.html

WORKER THREADS
Current thread_cache_size = 0
Current threads_cached = 0
Current threads_per_sec = 1
Historic threads_per_sec = 1
Your thread_cache_size is fine

MAX CONNECTIONS
Current max_connections = 151
Current threads_connected = 1
Historic max_used_connections = 1
The number of used connections is 0% of the configured maximum.
You are using less than 10% of your configured max_connections.
Lowering max_connections could help to avoid an over-allocation of memory
See "MEMORY USAGE" section to make sure you are not over-allocating

INNODB STATUS
Current InnoDB index space = 110 M
Current InnoDB data space = 1.39 G
Current InnoDB buffer pool free = 71 %
Current innodb_buffer_pool_size = 128 M
Depending on how much space your innodb indexes take up it may be safe
to increase this value to up to 2 / 3 of total system memory

MEMORY USAGE
Max Memory Ever Allocated : 274 M
Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 419 M
Configured Max Global Buffers : 272 M
Configured Max Memory Limit : 691 M
Physical Memory : 4.00 G
Max memory limit seem to be within acceptable norms

KEY BUFFER
No key reads?!
Seriously look into using some indexes
Current MyISAM index space = 58 M
Current key_buffer_size = 128 M
Key cache miss rate is 1 : 0
Key buffer free ratio = 81 %
Your key_buffer_size seems to be fine

QUERY CACHE
Query cache is supported but not enabled
Perhaps you should set the query_cache_size

SORT OPERATIONS
Current sort_buffer_size = 2 M
Current read_rnd_buffer_size = 256 K
No sort operations have been performed
Sort buffer seems to be fine

JOINS
./mysql_tuner.pl: line 402: export: `2097152': not a valid identifier
Current join_buffer_size = 132.00 K
You have had 0 queries where a join could not use an index properly
Your joins seem to be using indexes properly

OPEN FILES LIMIT
Current open_files_limit = 1024 files
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine

TABLE CACHE
Current table_open_cache = 400 tables
Current table_definition_cache = 400 tables
You have a total of 801 tables
You have 400 open tables.
Current table_cache hit rate is 16%
, while 100% of your table cache is in use
You should probably increase your table_cache
You should probably increase your table_definition_cache value.

TEMP TABLES
Current max_heap_table_size = 16 M
Current tmp_table_size = 16 M
Of 347 temp tables, 9% were created on disk
Created disk tmp tables ratio seems fine

TABLE SCANS
Current read_buffer_size = 128 K
Current table scan ratio = 28 : 1
read_buffer_size seems to be fine

TABLE LOCKING
Current Lock Wait ratio = 0 : 295
Your table locking seems to be fine

so, i realized that i should raise table_open_cache…
even i confirmed throught mysql command line

  +--------------------+
    | @@table_open_cache |
    +--------------------+
    |                400 |
    +--------------------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)

    MariaDB [(none)]>

ok , so i ran into my.cnf

and edited like this:

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

#table_cache = 1000
#max_open_files = 4000
#max_connections = 800
key_buffer_size = 60M
max_allowed_packet = 1G
table_open_cache = 2000
table_definition_cache = 2000
#sort_buffer_size = 2M
#read_buffer_size = 1M
#read_rnd_buffer_size = 8M
#myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
#thread_cache_size = 15
#query_cache_size = 32M
#thread_concurrency = 8
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

# Recommended in standard MySQL setup
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES 

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8

but table_open_cache is still 400!
my server is reading all the other variables, except table_open_cache

results after changing the cnf file

TABLE CACHE
Current table_open_cache = 400 tables
Current table_definition_cache = 400 tables
You have a total of 801 tables
You have 400 open tables.
Current table_cache hit rate is 16%
, while 100% of your table cache is in use
You should probably increase your table_cache
You should probably increase your table_definition_cache value.

tried everything, any help?

Thank you

I'm mostly speaking from mySQL experience, it's possible it does not relate 100% to mariadb.
First of all, it's possible you did not restart your mySQL server.
In which case you should try setting the variables manually, and letting the config take over after the next restart.

It's also possible you have a case of nested configs.
Try looking in the list of config locations,
