I have an AWS RDS Mysql Server with Table cache hit rate's problem. If I do a query on phpmyadmin (also simple query) always do it without cache.

Here the mysqltuner log:

General recommendations:
    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
    Set up a Password for user with the following SQL statement ( SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'SpecificDNSorIp' = PASSWORD('secure_password'); )
    Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    Increase table_open_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
    Read this before increasing table_open_cache over 64: 
    Beware that open_files_limit (65535) variable
    should be greater than table_open_cache ( 6396)
Variables to adjust:
  *** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
  *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
    join_buffer_size (> 1.0M, or always use indexes with joins)
    table_open_cache (> 6396)

I have some query that are slow query logged because don't use index (but not at all).

Can someone explain how resolve this hits rate problem?

Thank you

Some of what MySQLTuner says is bogus. Here are the things that seem bad:

You are using MyISAM instead of InnoDB; this is generally sub-optimal.

Fragmented tables -- bogus. There may be some MyISAM tables that could use OPTIMIZE, but probably not.

3GB of InnoDB tables, yet the buffer_pool is much bigger. Lower innodb_buffer_pool_size to 3500M and the instances to 3.

You have lots of MyISAM indexes, yet a small key_cache. Increase key_buffer_size to 3G.

Lower long_query_time to 1, run for awhile, then use pt-query-digest to find the worst couple of queries. Fix them. (This will deal with several of the "!!" comments - joins, disk tmp tables, write key, etc.)

How long was mysqld up when you ran this script? A 1% miss rate for table_open_cache is not that bad, but maybe the Opened_tables / Uptime is bad. I consider over 2/sec to be bad.

If you would like a different analysis, post SHOW VARIABLES and SHOW GLOBAL STATUS and size of RAM. (Probably need post.it because of size.)
