Development:TestReplicationSetup

On till:


master + slave sub servers, setup as chroot jails.

the chroots live in /www/mysql-replication, under master and slaver servers respectively.

chroot setup is as follows: proc entries are in till's master /etc/fstab to mount the /proc filesystem in the chroots

proc            /www/mysql-replication/master/proc           proc    defaults        0       0
proc            /www/mysql-replication/slave/proc           proc    defaults        0       0

1) Install the OS files

sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 etch /www/mysql-replication/slave http://mirror.xmission.com/debian

2) enter the chrooted system

sudo chroot /www/mysql-replication/master

3) install locales support and MySQL

apt-get install locales-all
apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

Master is setup on port 3307, slave on port 3308 on the master, add permission for the replication user:

grant replication slave on *.* to repl@localhost

on the master, to find the log file / postion variables:

flush tables with read lock;
show master status;

on the slave, to start replication:

change master to master_host = '127.0.0.1', master_port = 3307, master_user='repl', master_log_file = 'mysql-bin.000008', master_log_pos = 13804;
start slave

on the master, to enable writes:

unlock tables;
