编辑mysql配置文件，查看常用的核心配置项[mysqld]：

[root@centos6 ~]# vim /etc/my.cnf

……

# The MySQL server

[mysqld]

port                                = 3306

socket                             = /tmp/mysql.sock

skip-locking

key_buffer_size               = 256M

max_allowed_packet       = 1M

table_open_cache           = 256

sort_buffer_size              = 1M

read_buffer_size             = 1M

read_rnd_buffer_size       = 4M

myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M

thread_cache_size           = 8

query_cache_size            = 16M

# Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency

thread_concurrency        = 8

……

参数说明：

port 端口3306

socket 监听的socket

skip_locking 过滤掉锁

key_buffer_size 索引块的缓冲区大小

max_allowed_packet 用于MySQL的web管理工具phpmyadmin导入包的情况

table_open_cache 所有线程打开表的数量

sort_buffer_size 一个线程用于排序的缓冲区大小

read_buffer_size 读缓冲区大小

read_rnd_buffer_size 随机读缓冲区大小

myisam_sort_buffer_size 用于myisam引擎的排序缓冲区的大小

thread_cache_size 缓存可重用线程数，跟内存有关（1G=8，2G=16，4G以上64）

query_cache_size 查询的缓存大小

thread_concurrency 最大并发线程数，和cpu核数有关系（逻辑CPU数的2倍）

interactive_timeout 交互超时时间

wait_timeout 等待超时时间，自动断开连接，依赖于interactive_timeout

long_query_time 慢查询时间，超过这个时间就要记录日志

log_slow_queries 慢查询日志路径，依赖于long_query_time

配置使用innodb引擎只需打开MySQL配置文件中的相关内容即可：

[root@centos6 ~]# vim /etc/my.cnf

……

# Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables

#innodb_data_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/

#innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend

#innodb_log_group_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/

# You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 %

# of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high

#innodb_buffer_pool_size = 256M

#innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 20M

# Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size

#innodb_log_file_size = 64M

#innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M

#innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1

#innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50

……

配置使用二进制日志只需打开我们一开始就注释掉的相关内容即可：

……

# Replication Master Server (default)

# binary logging is required for replication

#log-bin=mysql-bin

# binary logging format - mixed recommended

#binlog_format=mixed

# required unique id between 1 and 2^32 - 1

# defaults to 1 if master-host is not set

# but will not function as a master if omitted

#server-id      = 1
