    Ubuntu has moved from Upstart to Systemd  from version 15.04 and no longer respects the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf for system services. These limits now apply only to user sessions.

    The limits for the MySQL service are defined in the Systemd configuration file, which you should copy from its default location into /etc/systemd and then edit the copy.

    sudo cp /lib/systemd/system/mysql.service /etc/systemd/system/
    sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service # or your editor of choice

    Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

    LimitNOFILE=infinity
    LimitMEMLOCK=infinity

    You could also set a numeric limit, eg LimitNOFILE=4096

    Now reload the Systemd configuration with:

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload

    Restart MySQL and it should now obey the max_connections directive.

    Been trying for hours, now.  None of these solutions is increasing the number above 4185.  seems that limit is set somewhere else.
