Too Many mysqld processes

Virtualmin
1

Hi There,

I have a set-up in AWS (t2.small) running a couple of Wordpress sites, I see increseanly amount of mysqld processes for no reason, the wordpress sites are very low trafic, if any, so there should not be a reason for this consumption. Any ideas ?

Ubuntu 16 installed from “script installer”

Screensthots.

Hello,
please, what does Virtualmin have to do with “mysqld processes” ?

Of course, you may have a high wait_timeout on the .cnf and so the connections, even if idle, keep opened for a long time and also you need to check your max_connections value…
to be related to what you really need…

that’s it, no Virtualmin matter here

bye

Hi,

*** If you’re using CentOS 7, MySQL was replaced by MariaDB. In fact most distros did the same things in their latest releases. ***

If you have MariaDB installed, you should be able to find the log file at:

/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log

*** If it’s not there, the location should be listed in /etc/my.cnf ***

Hopefully the log will tell you a little more about what’s going on.
