Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I get this error when I check the plesk installation.
```

How can I solve this error?

my /etc/mysql/my.cnf has no 'innodb_buffer_pool_size=512M' Variable.

Beat regards

See if there is another config here: /etc/my.cnf

Also, please show us the entire contents of your my.cnf file if you could.
I have three my.cnf files


With this Content

/etc/mysql/my.cnf

```
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/
[mysqld]
sql_mode=ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
bind-address = ::ffff:127.0.0.1
local-infile=0
```

/etc/alternatives/my.cnf

```
~ ~ # The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored. # !includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/ [mysqld] local-infile=0 ~ ~ ~ ~
```
and /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf

```
auto
/etc/mysql/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback
100
/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf
200
```

When I search in mysql database there is also an Entry:

mysql> show variables like 'innodb_%';

Wow tell you the truth that seems like quite a jumble of fairly useless settings to me.
There must be another settings file somewhere giving it that error.

I'd also look in Tools & Settings -> Database Servers and see if you're dealing with more than one installation of MySQL or something.
 
There is Only one entry. Localhost.

I did not change anything here.

There is no /etc/my.cnf ? That's where mine resides. However, it shouldn't say that the variable is unknown anyway.

That's my config files

I have an Update,

I set the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 5G via /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Code:
mysql> show global variables like 'innodb_buffer_pool%';

10 rows in set (0,00 sec)

That works after mysql reload. But I get the message when I backup a domain.

Code:
Warning: mysql "netzcloud"
Failed to execute backup database

Whats wrong? I checked all my.cnf files but no variable present like "'innodb_buffer_pool_size=512M'"
That's curious.

Check if there are other configuration folders included in your my.cnf file, some directives like
Code:
includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
You can also check if the directive innodb_buffer_pool_size=512M exist with
Code:
cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep pool_size

I found it in the conf.d directory. Thanks for your help. :)

I had this error today, it was because in /etc/my.cnf I was adding the config variables before "[mysqld]" area of that config file.
My variables should be after [mysqld]
 
And also remember that you need to add your configuration to both, the [mysqld] and [mysqldump] sections. An entry in the [mysqld] section works for the live operations of the database server, but will not work for the dump, e.g. when a backup is created.
 
try this.
