Our server seems to think it is a slave. It has a slave thread rnning, whose only action is to complain once a minute about not being able to connect to master "". This just started one day, when we took the server down and brought it right back up.
I'd like to get rid of the slave thread, but I don't know where to start. Any ideas appreciated. Info. that could be of use follows We're running on Red Hat 7.2, using 3.23.49-max-log. (We're replicating from a 4.0.1 on Win 2000) Here's the slave status. (In fact, the server is on port 3307; there is another MySQL running on port 3306. There's no user named "test") mysql> show slave status; +-------------+-------------+-------------+---------------+----------+-----+ ---------------+-----------------+---------------------+------------+------- -----+--------------+ | Master_Host | Master_User | Master_Port | Connect_retry | Log_File | Pos | Slave_Running | Replicate_do_db | Replicate_ignore_db | Last_errno | Last_error | Skip_counter | +-------------+-------------+-------------+---------------+----------+-----+ ---------------+-----------------+---------------------+------------+------- -----+--------------+ | | test | 3306 | 60 | | 4 | Yes | | | 0 | | 0 | +-------------+-------------+-------------+---------------+----------+-----+ ---------------+-----------------+---------------------+------------+------- -----+--------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Here's the processlist.
