Van> No. Just have the slave connect to the master using the ip Van> address. I have set up the master and slave now and am getting a problem. When the slave tries to connect, it appears to be attempting to enter a value that is already in one of my database tables, and gives the error: [root@newman mysql]# tail /var/log/mysqld.log 020314 19:37:28 Slave: connected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306', replication started in log 'FIRST' at position 4 ERROR: 1062 Duplicate entry '2472160-101.bmp-2' for key 1 020314 19:37:28 Slave: error running query 'INSERT INTO multifile VALUES ( 2472160, '2001-3-9', '101.bmp', 2 )' 020314 19:37:28 Error running query, slave aborted. Fix the problem, and re-start the slave thread with "mysqladmin start-slave". We stopped at log 'mother-bin.002' position 73 020314 19:37:28 Slave thread exiting, replication stopped in log 'mother-bin.002' at position 73 I rsync'd the data dirs on master and slave and tried to follow the directions in the mysql manual on replication. The only thing that was different for me was that on the master the owners of some of the subdirs and files in the mysql data dir are root.root and I needed to change these to mysql.mysql or I got an error about not being able to read the *.frm files on entering the slave. When I go ahead and connect to the slave mysql server, I get the version number of the slave and not the master, and when I make changes to update the master, I do not see them on the slave. So it appears that it is simply reading the data files that I transferred over before restarting master and slave. Here is the master my.cnf: [root@mother var]# cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/usr/local/mysql/var/ socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock log-bin server-id=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/usr/local/mysql [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid And the slave my.cnf: [root@newman mysql]# cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock master-host=128.135.97.130 master-user=repl master-password=somepass master-port=3306 server-id=2 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
