MySQL Replication
Create user on Server 1
- Username: rep2
- Password: rep2
- Host: 222.222.222.222
- Grant all privileges to this user on database mor
Create user on Server 2
- Username: rep1
- Password: rep1
- Host: 111.111.111.111
- Grant all privileges to this user on database mor

Server 2
Delete all data from DB. Leave only structure.
Server 1
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart mysql -u root -p
USE mor; FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; SHOW MASTER STATUS;
Remember File and Position.
UNLOCK TABLES; quit;
Server2
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
mysql -u root -p LOAD DATA FROM MASTER;
SLAVE STOP;
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='111.111.111.111', MASTER_USER='rep2', MASTER_PASSWORD='rep2', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000010', MASTER_LOG_POS=1183703;
NOTE: Change MASTER_HOST, MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS accordingly.
START SLAVE;
USE mor; FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; SHOW MASTER STATUS;
Remember File and Position.
UNLOCK TABLES; quit;
Server 1
mysql -u root -p
SLAVE STOP;
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='222.222.222.222', MASTER_USER='rep1', MASTER_PASSWORD='rep1', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000011', MASTER_LOG_POS=98;
NOTE:
START SLAVE; quit;
Log files
In order for MySQL Replication to function properly you need to check log files in /var/lib/mysql
Open master-log-bin.index, it should contain names of the files which really exist in same folder. If there's some mismatch - edit this file: enter missing names for files or delete file names which does not represent real files in this folder.
Same with file slave-relay-log.index
Testing
Login to MySQL console on both servers:
mysql -u root -p
Then:
SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
If everything is ok you should see such lines between others on both servers:
Slave_IO_State: Waiting for master to send event Slave_IO_Running: Yes
If Replication is off you will see:
Slave_IO_State: Slave_IO_Running: No
Troubleshooting
Check file: /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log
'Could not find first log file name in binary log index file' from master when reading data from binary log
We go to the master and check /var/lib/mysql/master-log-bin.index file.
For example it can show:
/var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000001 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000002 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000003 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000005
In /var/lib/mysql/ we also have file mysql-bin.000004, so its' name is missing in index file, lets add it, so master-log-bin.index looks like:
/var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000001 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000002 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000003 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000004 /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000005
Restart mysql on this server and try with slave again.
This is just an example - some other file's records can be missing. Make sure file has all related file's records which are in same folder.
