Firstly, the correct syntax for the mysql client is: mysql -u root -h hostname_or_ip_address -p
and then enter the password you are prompted. You need to make sure you can connect FIRST, and THEN try replication. Running replication as root is a bad idea, by the way. Better to set up a replication user with minimal grants, and use that user. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-howto.html for details. If this doesn't help, try copying and pasting what you type and what's returned. "It didn't work" and "I got an error" are not sufficient. -Sheeri On 2/9/06, Chen Abella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi. > > i have trouble with reoplication. > > i cannot connect to the other server using: > mysql -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > and i get an error msg in the log: > > [ERROR] Slave I/O thread: error connecting to master '[EMAIL > PROTECTED]:3306': Error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'server1' (13)' > > how do i fix this? > anyone who can help... ? > > thankyou... > > > chEn > Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com > -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
