Question mySQL 100% CPU, how to config my.cnf for lots of querys


Hello, this is my first post here, hope everything is ok.

I have a server which I use for a torrent tracker, and mySQL is constant at about 80-90% and the server doesn't always respond.. I spent last couple of days searching different configs for my.cnf, but didn't find the right combination because I think the server can handle the load with the right settings.. maybe someone can help me. Thank you.

Config:
CPU : Opteron 155
RAM : 1,5 GB
HDD : Raptor 36 GB 10.000 rpm
OS : FedoraCore 7, php 5.2.2, mySQL 5.0.45

Here is my my.cnf

Code:
# Example MySQL config file for very large systems.
#
# This is for a large system with memory of 1G-2G where the system runs mainly
# MySQL.
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is /var/lib/mysql) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.

# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
#password	= your_password
port		= 3306
socket		= /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

# Here follows entries for some specific programs

# The MySQL server
[mysqld]
log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql-slow.log

# if all processes that need to connect to mysqld run on the same host.
# All interaction with mysqld must be made via Unix sockets or named pipes.
# Note that using this option without enabling named pipes on Windows
# (via the "enable-named-pipe" option) will render mysqld useless!

log-bin=mysql-bin

# required unique id between 1 and 2^32 - 1
# defaults to 1 if master-host is not set
# but will not function as a master if omitted

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
#    the syntax is:
#
#    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
#    MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
#
#    where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
#    <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
#    Example:
#
#    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
#    MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
#    start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
#    if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
#    connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
#    change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
#    overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
#    the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
#    For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
#    (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id       = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host     =   <hostname>
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user     =   <username>
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password =   <password>
#
# The port the master is listening on.
# optional - defaults to 3306
#master-port     =  <port>
#
# binary logging - not required for slaves, but recommended
#log-bin=mysql-bin

# Point the following paths to different dedicated disks
#tmpdir		= /tmp/		
#log-update 	= /path-to-dedicated-directory/hostname

Hi -

You have gathered some excellent statistics (kudos!). I don't see anything that would account for the problem, but here are two links that might help:

http://dev.mysql.com/books/hpmysql-excerpts/ch06.html
<= Search for the section "Solving CPU Bottlenecks"
You've already covered much of this ground...
... but the article has some additional suggestions you might find useful

http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/category/innodb/
<= Search for "How does Buffer Pool size affects Innodb Performance?"

Hi there,

I recently faced with this problem where my mysql service was taking 99.9% cpu for even a single mysql query. I then tried many different my.cnf but lastly the solution I find was due to problem in coding of web application i.e. in Php file. Also, did some indexing too.
