If a slave dies, is there any way to determine that state from an external point of view (ie: via Perl/DBD) so we can write a script of some kind to either connect to the slave and issue a "START SLAVE" or send the last xx lines of the .err log file to our tech staff? I tried writing a Perl scri

Except that changes made on the master are not automatically picked up by the slaves. My bad, I wasn't running "START SLAVE" to get them going. Seems odd that this has to be done manually. Also, overnight, my slaves reported this error: 041108 19:06:42 [Note] Slave I/O thread: connected to maste

Put Purge into backticks. `Purge` char(1), It worked great but I would like to know why, thank! It could be that 'purge' is a reserved word in MySQL. I wanted to have a table with a shortened name of 'description' by trying to create a table with a 'desc' field, and MySQL had problems wi

It doesn't say access denied so I assume the socket is not even open. Never assume :o) From your windows box, you could try: telnet host.domain.com 3306 ... if it connects, it connected to *something* How can I find out if MySQL is on the port 3306? What Linux command shows all active ports
