title: Ubuntu 16.04 MariaDb no sample configurations
body: <p>I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server (VPS), I installed MariaDb 10.1 on it (<a href="https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=bme&amp;distro=Ubuntu&amp;distro_release=xenial--ubuntu_xenial&amp;version=10.1" rel="nofollow">did it like the doc said</a>). I would like to configure the database server, so innodb can use 2-4GB memory, so I tried to find the sample <code>my.cnf</code>'s in <code>/usr/share/mysql/</code> but not a single one is there (<a href="http://pastebin.com/WysnWhXt" rel="nofollow">only these</a>). Where can I find the sample configurations and how can I make them the actual? I read the <code>/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/</code> dir should contain a <code>mysqld.cnf</code>, but for me there are only these files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>50-client.cnf  50-mysql-clients.cnf  50-mysqld_safe.cnf  50-server.cnf  50-server.cnf.backup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which one is active? My guess is none.</p>
  
  <p>I don't need anything special, that is why I wanted to just actualize the <code>my-huge.cnf</code> and be done.</p>
