I am still having problems with the slave server being able to connect to the master, but a thought occured to me while we were working another topic.
Please let me know what I'm missing. I can do the following: mysql -hctiadb1 -urepl -preplctia and can access whatever database I wish. I just can't seem to get replication to work. I even tried creating a Linux user account for "repl" on ctiadb1 (the master server), in order to enable file access for replication. This seemed to work for allowing "load data local infile" commands, but it did nothing for replication.

K. Chesterton - Illustrated London News, 1/14/11 ---Original Message--- I am attempting to setup MySQL replication between the ctiadb1 (master) server and the ctiadb2 (slave) server. When I look at the mysql.log file on the slave, I see the following (repeated every 60 seconds): 020904 12:00:30 Slave thread: error connecting to master: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) (0), retry in 60 sec 020904 12:01:30 Slave thread: error connecting to master: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) (0), retry in 60 sec I already typed the following on the Master server: grant file on *.* to 'repl'@'%' identified by 'replctia'; flush privileges; Please tell me what I am doing wrong or missing. The /etc/my.cnf file on the master (ctiadb1) is as follows: ------------------------------- [mysqld] log-bin server-id=21 max_binlog_size=512M ------------------------------- The /etc/my.cnf file on the slave (ctiadb2) is as follows: ------------------------------- [mysqld] master-host=ctiadb1 master-user=repl master-password=replctia master-port=3306 server-id=87 datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock innodb_data_home_dir= innodb_data_file_path=/innodb_data/idbdata1:10M;/innodb_data/idbdata2:50M;/t est/innodb_data/idbdata3:100M:autoextend:max:512M # Set buffer pool size to 50-80% of computer's memory set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=160M set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=16M # Set log file size to 25% of buffer pool size set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=40M set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M # Set innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit to 0 if you can afford losing some last transactions innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/lib/mysql/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ------------------------------- Thank you.
