Edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf and change the settings as shown below. The old settings I’ve got are the default ones used by Ubuntu 8.04.

key_buffer		= 16M
max_allowed_packet	= 16M
thread_stack		= 128K
table_cache             = 64

key_buffer		= 16k
max_allowed_packet	= 1M
thread_stack		= 64k
table_cache             = 4
