Hello.
Are you restoring the database on the running slave? What is the sequence of steps which you're doing? Find the master.info file - it is usually located in the data directory and check it's permissions. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/slave-logs.html Is it possible that your dump has CHANGE MASTER statement inside (have been created with --master-data command line option)? >Ok here goes the query :- > >While restoring the database from backup, I am getting the following >error. > >" ERROR 1201 at line 1: Could not initialize master info structure, >check permisions on master.info " . > >I am doing " change master to " and immediately after it " start slave; >" is issued. > >I think I am getting this error from one of these two commands. > >Can anybody tell me why I am getting this error and how severe is this >problem. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.NET http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Gleb Paharenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.NET <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
