Looking at your my.cnf files I don't see where you've told the slave what server to connect to. The slave needs to know what server is the master. This is usually accomplished by including a couple of lines in my.cnf.
If the file master.info is in the data directory it will override the my.cnf settings because it contains more information. So you either need to add lines like: master-host = hostname master-user = username master-password = password to my.cnf on the slave or add an appropriately formatted and constructed master.info file to the data directory. If the master.info file exists and is blank or doesn't include enough information, delete it. If it's there and looks right, include it's contents in your next mail here (you can blank out the username/password info). Best Regards, Bruce Tierney Thurban <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all.
