MYSQL REPLICATION

A) Master –> Slave

MASTER

mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO ‘slave_user’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘slavepass’;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> CREATE DATABASE exampledb;

In my.cnf of Master

[mysqld]

dump the database and scp to slave
mysqldump -u root –opt exampledb > /tmp/exampledb.sql

Slave

mysql> CREATE DATABASE exampledb;

Import database

On the

Under the mysqld section add
[mysqld]

# let’s make it so auto increment columns behave by having different increments on both servers
auto_increment_increment=2
auto_increment_offset=1
# Replication Master Server

Restart Mysql on both servers;
Check by creating database on one server
ie

on 192.168.50.81

mysql> use exampledb;
mysql> CREATE TABLE test ( `field1` varchar(8) NOT NULL default ”, `field2` tinyint(4) unsigned default NULL );

on 192.168.50.81
mysql> show tables;

Restarting Replication if broken

Get latest mysql dump file from master and replicate on slave

on the master run
show master status;

Take the File and position values and run on slave

  stop slave;
  CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='192.168.50.81',
  MASTER_USER='slave_user',
  MASTER_PASSWORD='password',
  MASTER_LOG_FILE='mail2-bin.00002',
  MASTER_LOG_POS=37;
  start slave;

Replace the filename and position with actual ones

restart mysql on slave

Multiple Replication

To set up replication like

 A --> B --> c

Follow the same steps to set up replication on the C server from B
Edit the my.cnf file on B server and add to what is already present

log-warnings
log-bin=mysql-bin
max_allowed_packet=16M
binlog-do-db=mail
log-slave-updates
sync-binlog=1
relay-log=<hostname>-relay-bin

log-slave-updates -- This is for the slave to write to it's log file so that C server can read the logs

On server C along with the master slave configuration add this

log-warnings
log-bin=mysql-bin
max_allowed_packet=16M
binlog-do-db=mail
sync-binlog=1
relay-log=<hostname>-relay-bin
slave_net_timeout=30
master-connect-retry=10
slave-skip-errors

slave_net_timeout -- The default for the slave_net_timeout setting is 3600,
which is 60 minutes. I've set this to 30.
It also removes a step in resuming replication of "STOP SLAVE; START SLAVE" 

master-connect-retry -- The number of seconds the slave thread will sleep before retrying
to connect to the master in case the master goes down or the connection is lost. Default is 60.
