[debian-mysql] configuring mariadb on debian stretch

[Juha Heinanen]

I installed mariadb-server-10.1 on Debian Stretch and can't figure out
how to configure it.

I tried to change value of max_connections by adding file 10-local.cnf
with contents:

[mysqld]
max_connections        = 200

to /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d directory and restarting mysql server, but
value was not changed from 151 (default).

Then I tried by editing line

max_connections        = 200

in file /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf, but that didn't help
either.

I could not find anything about configuring mariadb server
/usr/share/doc/mariadb-server-10.1.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
