STOP ZONEMINDER
/etc/init.d/zm stop

STOP MYSQL
/etc/init.d/mysql stop

EDIT YOUR my.cnf FILE
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

UNCOMMENT skip-innodb OR ADD IT IF IT IS NOT IN THERE

MAKE SURE THE THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS ARE SET
key_buffer = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 32M
thread_stack = 128K
thread_cache_size = 8
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 24M

ADD THESE PARAMETERS
tmp_table_size = 32M
max_heap_table_size = 16M

SAVE AND EXIT

START MYSQL
/etc/init.d/mysql start

START ZONEMINDER
/etc/init.d/zm start

IF YOU WANT TO TUNE YOUR OWN SYSTEM, LET YOUR SYSTEM RUN NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THEN RUN
mysqltuner

IT WILL ASK YOU FOR YOUR MYSQL ROOT USERNAME AND PASSWORD SO ENTER IT

ONCE YOU ENTER YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD IT WILL GIVE YOU SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. I WOULD GUESS THAT IF YOU APPLY THE ABOVE SETTINGS IT WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES.

You can disregard this:
