Hi all, Have a problem, running a master/slave setup which worked until tonight and mysteriously broke with no changes to the setup at all. My server starts up fine, but the master.info and relay-log.info that are created are 0 bytes and empty. In the logfile, I get this:
040128 23:00:29 Error reading slave log configuration 040128 23:00:29 Failed to initialize the master info structure and when I run "slave start" I get this: ERROR 1201: Could not initialize master info structure, check permisions on master.info The blank files in question have okay permissions (mysql:mysql) as does the directory they're in, and they ARE getting written to, just nothing is being written. The my.cnf file also has appropriate permissions and is readable by mysql (so it's not a case of the server not knowing what to write in those files). Moreover, nothing has changed on the server config at all. I've tried resetting the master and slave but it doesn't help. I was running version 4.0.12-0 but just upgraded to 4.0.17-0 which hasn't helped at all, and the only thing I can find in the archives are similar problems with the same error number that either turn out to be legit permissions errors (which isn't the case here), and this: http://lists.mysql.com/bugs/15135 which I don't really follow as far as what the final solution was. Anyone have any ideas? This is confusing! thanks, Andrew -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
