Changing innodb_log_file_size in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Question

I am a starter in Linux and am hence new to all this. Please take my noob mistakes kindly if there are any. So I am installing OTRS in Linux for which I have to change the innodb_log_file_size to 512M

So I did the following but have been unsuccessful to change the log_file_size.

• Set GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown to 1
• Ensured that shutdown was completed using log file (It did indeed, saw a line which said Shutdown complete)
• Moved the following files to home

logfile0 & logfile1 from cd /var/lib/mysql

• Nano edited the my.cnf in `

/etc/mysql/my.cnf

I added the following line under

 [mysqldump] 
 inno_db_log_file_size = 512M

Saved and closed the .cnf file and restarted mysql server using

/etc/init.d/mysql start

I then checked the error log file and found that the logfile0 & logfile1 got recreated but got recreated with 5MB size again

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am guessing that I am not adding the inno_db_log_file_size = 512M in the right place.

PS: There was no inno_db_log_file_size line before I added it.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

配置选项是innodb_log_file_size或innodb-log-file-size （ -和_都有效），但不是inno_db_log_file_size 。

Answer 2

Actually that is what I added. I figured out where to write the line.

The above was just a typo. Thanks for looking into it.:)

I solved it myself. Cheers.
