this is the official website for the info you need http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication.html at this point the time frame you are looking at is probably that of reading and getting to understand the solution and how to impliment it. once you grasp the idea it is no more than installing two mysql servers and set a few parameters. have fun and good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob To: users@httpd.apache.org ; Danie Qian Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 5:54 PM Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MYSQL Domain ?
That seams like an awesome suggestion Danie, i think this is by far better way. 1 problem with this how-ever, i have no idea on how to go about doing all this. Are you able to toss me a few links my way to read up on this. Whats the time frame we looking here to do all this ? and is this all basicly MYSQL based ? not apache at all ? does it require any special license to do it ? cheers rob On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 9:45 AM, Danie Qian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: In your situation, why dont you do it this way: location1: 4 sites <-> mysql server1, as a master for these 4 local sites and replicate slave for the 2 sites in the other location. location2: 2 sites <-> mysql server2, as a master for these 2 local sites and replicate slave for the 4 sites in the other location not only this will be more efficient but also it will be more reliable as you have sort of a real time backup db server. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob To: users@httpd.apache.org ; Danie Qian Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 5:26 PM Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MYSQL Domain ? To explain abit more about my situation, I have 6 joomla sites, 4 on one server 2 on another, with more to follow. What im needing to do is setup a simple form for people to fill out. This basicly will inject the database of each joomla site with the information from the form into them. The problem is that the servers are in two sperate locations so i presumed this would be a good way to connect to the databases from mulitlple locations. Danie, it is possible to have sql running on localhost and over a domain at the same time ? is any one able to point me to some reading material or walkthrough so i could get a better idea on what needs to be done ? cheers rob On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 9:19 AM, Danie Qian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: it is mysql.domainname.com:3306 you should connect to. I recomment you keep a local database for each of your location, local i mean on the same network. mysql connection from one location to another in the backend causes performance issue. you might consider replicating the same db all across your different locations. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Harvey To: users@httpd.apache.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MYSQL Domain ? Rob. I would think that you would want to use a port number instead of a domain name. I think the port number is 3310, so you would have someone connect by going to: domainname.com:3310 Doug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 2:01 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MYSQL Domain ? Hey there, wondering if some one could point me on the right direction. I have no idea what its actually called but i want to asign my MYSQL to a domain name. So instead of using local host they can use mysql.domainname.com Basically want this to make my database accessible to our other servers which are hosted at all diffrent places around the world. Could any one give me a brief idea on how this is done ? and the pro's and cons of it. I did trying searching for it but seams i dont actually know whats its properly called i came up with very little. I thinking this is done in apache ? im just guessing here thanks, rob
