Hi all, I've done a decent amount of searching on Deja.com but haven't found anyone with this particular problem. I have two boxes running MySql on Win2k. Replication works great. One box is Master, one is Slave. After the boxes are running, any write to the Master is replicated to the Slave. However, if I have one write to the Master ~before~ the Slave starts, the Slave isn't "caught up". The docs indicate that: http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Replication_HOWTO.html "After you have done the above, the slave(s) should connect to the master and catch up on any updates which happened since the snapshot was taken." I am not seeing the slave catch up. Is this a Win32 bug or should I follow some steps beyond what is listed in the manual? To be very clear: A write to the Master before the Slave is started is ~not~ replicated to the Slave. A write to the Master after the Slave is started ~is~ replicated. Thanks for any help or advice! On a related note, the manual is also not quite accurate for a Win32 install. There is no my.cnf file in the data directory. It's a my.ini file and (on my machines) it's located in c:\winnt\ If you create the my.cnf file in the locations indicated by the manual, it is ignored.
