Thank you for helping Jerry. Actually I found this script for debian but I want to use it for CentOS server so I replaced /etc/mysql/debian.cnf with ~/my.cnf the file content is: Example MySQL config file for medium systems. # # This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MySQL plays # an important part, or systems up to 128M where MySQL is used together with # other programs (such as a web server) # # MySQL programs look for option files in a set of # locations which depend on the deployment platform. # You can copy this option file to one of those # locations.
