Hi. I'm running the binary (RPM) installation of MySQL server 2.23.39 for pc-linux-gnu on i686 with Kernel 2.4.4 on the master and 2.4.2 on the slave. I'm using two machines on a local network, one 192.168.0.14 and the other one 192.168.0.81. The appropriate lines from my.cnf on the slave (192.168.0.81) follow: [mysqld] master-host=192.168.0.14 master-user=file master-password=dgj469l master-port=3306 server-id=2 The appropriate lines of my.cnf on the master (192.168.0.14) follow: log-bin server-id=1 Am I doing something wrong? when I start up both of the servers, and run a SHOW SLAVE STATUS; they both show slave_running = yes. Further, any updates done to the master do indeed get logged, but never propigated to the slave. I am now getting lots of this in the slave's error log file: 010620 10:36:24 Slave: reconnected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306',replication resumed in log 'FIRST' at position 35 010620 10:36:24 Error reading packet from server: bogus data in log event (read_errno 0,server_errno=65535) 010620 10:37:24 Slave: Failed reading log event, reconnecting to retry, log 'FIRST' position 35 010620 10:37:24 Slave: reconnected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306',replication resumed in log 'FIRST' at position 35 010620 10:37:24 Error reading packet from server: bogus data in log event (read_errno 0,server_errno=65535) Before I messed with it some more, the same log said: 010620 10:28:01 Slave: reconnected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306',replication resumed in log 'FIRST' at position 35 010620 10:28:01 Slave: received 0 length packet from server, apparent master shutdown: (0) 010620 10:29:01 Slave: Failed reading log event, reconnecting to retry, log 'FIRST' position 35 010620 10:29:01 Slave: reconnected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306',replication resumed in log 'FIRST' at position 35 010620 10:29:01 Slave: received 0 length packet from server, apparent master shutdown: (0) Any thoughts on what's going on here??
