Question

How can I increase the MySql memory on a wordpress with ubuntu droplet image

Posted February 5, 2020 570 views
WordPressDatabases

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:

  1. How do I increase the memory limit for the database on localhost?
  2. 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 mysqltunner in 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 mysqldump in 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
