mySQL not reading max_connections configuration












1















I am trying to change the max_connections configuration for a mysql instance running on a Ubuntu 16.04 server. I have tried placing this configuration...



[mysqld]
max_connections = 400


...in the following files already: /etc/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf, /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf.



I also added the following lines to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld and restarted apparmor:



/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/* rl,
/etc/mysql/conf.d/* rl,


Nevertheless, every time I restart the mysql service, I am getting a value of 214 from the following query:



show global variables like "max_connections";


The mysql version is mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.19, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper.



What am I missing?

In Ubuntu 16.04 the limits for the MySQL service are defined in the Systemd configuration file. To force MySQL read the value defined in your mysqld.cnf edit the service config:



sudo systemctl edit mysql.service


Add the following lines then save the file:



[Service]
LimitNOFILE=infinity


Restart the service:



sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart mysql.service


MySQL should use now the value defined in you config files.
