One more bit of information... this is from the error log: 110215 8:19:32 [ERROR] Error reading relay log event: slave SQL thread aborted because of I/O error 110215 8:19:32 [ERROR] Slave SQL: Relay log read failure: Could not parse relay log event entry. The possible r easons are: the master's binary log is corrupted (you can check this by running 'mysqlbinlog' on the binary log) , the slave's relay log is corrupted (you can check this by running 'mysqlbinlog' on the relay log), a network p roblem, or a bug in the master's or slave's MySQL code. If you want to check the master's binary log or slave's relay log, you will be able to know their names by issuing 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS' on this slave. Error_code: 1594 110215 8:19:32 [ERROR] Error running query, slave SQL thread aborted. Fix the problem, and restart the slave SQ L thread with "SLAVE START".
