Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mysql-server-5.0
In the provided my.cnf file: # note: if you are setting up a replication slave, see README.Debian about # other settings you may need to change. Yet the README.Debian only has a section called "FURTHER NOTES ON REPLICATION" (no initial notes, just a brief paragraph of "further notes" - did a vital section get cut here?). That section has nothing about other settings that need to be changed. There is at least one important one. Importing the databases from the master will result in the "password" setting in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf being wrong on the slave; it needs to be changed to the password on the master. This is a Debian-only complication, not MySQL per se, so Debian should document it, yes? There may at least one other, since replication isn't working yet for me, despite following the standard doc at mysql.com. ** Affects: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- MySQL replication - Debian quirks undocumented https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
