: Hello Mike,

: I'm not too mysql savy as I said before. How do I set up the caching?

: Thanks
In your /etc/my.cnf under the [mysqld] section, add these lines:
query-cache-type = 1
query-cache-size = 20M
You can adjust the cache size based on your system.
Save your changes and restart mysqld and test.
Mike
