Question
How can I increase the MySql memory on a wordpress with ubuntu droplet image
My website keeps going down because of MySql which is running on localhost does not have enough computing power to connect to the website. I have increased the ram by resizing the database but that only worked for a day. I have created a database cluster with DO and once I can get into the database on localhost I will migrate it.
My questions are:
- How do I increase the memory limit for the database on localhost?
- How do I download the database and then upload it to the managed cluster on DO?

Hi @shehethey,
I recently posted an answer on how to use
mysqltunnerin order to optimize your MySQL database, you can take a look at the instructions here:https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-tweak-mysql-mariadb-configuration-for-increased-performance-and-stability
Regarding the migration of your database to a Managed MySQL Database, you could either use a tool like DBever or
mysqldumpin order to backup your database first and then import it to your Managed MySQL Database:https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/databases/mysql/how-to/import-databases/
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
