Optimizing my.cnf Suggestions Needed
I wonder if anyone would care to help me optimize mysql on my server.
It is a Centos6.5 VPS with 2MB of RAM.
For the most part mysql seems to run well. However there are times it will slow down, and memory use will increase so that it seems I need to restart it to get it going again. There are maybe 50 email addresses and 10-20 low traffic Wordpress sites (most of them don't allow comments), less than 5 Drupal sites. Most website tables are INNODB.
Even though currently the slow log function is off, when enabled nothing writes to the slow.log even though mysql>status will show that there are slow queries.
Here is my.cnf
And the latest output of mysqltuner
Thanks for any input.

General recommendations:
Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries

Hello :) In addition to optimizing your MySQL configuration, you may also want to use a command such as "mysqladmin processlist" the next time you notice slowness to see any particular databases are the source of the issue. Thank you. 0 -
I see that in your my.cnf file,general_log is set to 1. I suggest you disable general log because it slows down your server very quickly 0 -

Thanks I've done that. I did some research after you comment and didn't realize the performance implications.0
