Hi there,

I'm trying to set up replication between two RH7.2 Linux servers running MySQL 
3.23.54a (mysql RPMs). I've followed the instructions in the MySQL online manual 
(section 4.10 Replication in MySQL), and when I do the following command on the slave:

change master to master_host='db1', master_user='<not shown here>', 
master_password='<not shown here>', master_log_file='db1-binary-log.004', 
master_log_pos=38456522;

, mysql tells me:
ERROR:
Could not initialize master info

I can't find anything in the error log, and I've set up the replication user on the 
master as outlined in the manual. Both master and slave are currently using databases 
with ISAM tables rather than MyISAM tables (although the 'mysql' database is, of 
course, MyISAM). I'm not using InnoDB tables.

Can anyone give me an idea of how to troubleshoot this one?

Thanks,
Guy.
