Check the MySQL log file

NOTE: We are in the process of modifying the configuration for many Bitnami stacks. On account of these changes, the file paths and commands stated in this guide may change depending on whether your Bitnami stack uses MySQL or MariaDB. To identify which database server is used in your stack, run the command below:

 $ test -d /opt/bitnami/mariadb && echo "MariaDB" || echo "MySQL"

The output of the command indicates which database server (MySQL or MariaDB) is used by the installation, and will allow you to identify which guides to follow in our documentation for common database-related operations.

The main MySQL log file is located at /opt/bitnami/mysql/logs/mysqld.log, on the MySQL database server host:

WordPress users can also consider installing an optimization plugin such as WP-Optimize to optimize the database.
