Changing wait_timeout
We are running 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge7-log on a couple of our servers. The PHP applicaitons that interact with the databases use mysql_pconnect for maximum performance. However, if the apache thread is dropped, the MySQL connection thread is not dropped, so we end up with a lot of unused threads.
I would like to reduce the wait_timeout from 28800 (default) to 600.
However "set GLOBAL wait_timeout = 600" has not effect on the variable when I do a "show variables;" I have also put a new line in the my.cnf "wait_timeout = 600" and restarted mysql - change was also ignored.
Any ideas on how to change this variable?
