Setting replication MySQL version 5.5

Leave a reply

So the other day I performed an upgrade of MySQL on a linode and notice that it wont start if I kept my old my.cnf file. 

[11:47:06] user@linode1: ~ $ echo 'SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%version%";' | mysql -u username -ppassword | grep innodb
innodb_version  5.5.31
[11:47:20] user@linode1: ~ $

Thing is the replication entries in my.cnf need to be removed/commented out and salve needs to be set up from MySQL console.

So here is my new my.cnf.

[11:34:25] xavi@linode1: ~ $ sudo grep -v “^#” /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep -v “^$”

[client]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysqld_safe]
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
nice            = 0
[mysqld]
server-id       = 2
user            = mysql
pid-file        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port            = 3306
basedir         = /usr
datadir         = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir          = /tmp
language        = /usr/share/mysql/english
skip-external-locking
bind-address            = 192.168.137.234
key_buffer              = 16M
max_allowed_packet      = 16M
thread_stack            = 128K
thread_cache_size       = 8
myisam-recover          = BACKUP
query_cache_limit       = 1M
query_cache_size        = 16M
expire_logs_days        = 10
max_binlog_size         = 100M
[mysqldump]
quick
quote-names
max_allowed_packet      = 16M
[mysql]
[isamchk]
key_buffer              = 16M
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/

[11:34:37] xavi@linode1: ~ $

We load the above file or similar depending on your configuration. Now to configure slave we log into the MySQL CLI.



mysql> STOP SLAVE;

mysql> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=’192.168.140.120′, MASTER_USER=’replication-user’, MASTER_PASSWORD=’password’, MASTER_LOG_FILE=’mysql-bin.000747′, MASTER_LOG_POS=75797;

mysql> START SLAVE;

That’s it.
