Posted by peep96, 09-12-2010, 10:08 AM Hello, I would like to set up my failover FreeBSD server in a different location to replicate my whole MySQL database on the primary. I have found a tutorial online, but it looks like it describes how to do only 1 database, and i would like to sync everything. It is not a huge database, either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Posted by ZenMonk, 09-14-2010, 03:23 AM All you need to do is assign server_id for master/slave and enable binary logging in /etc/my.cnf. Comment out binlog-do-db vairable, if any. Sync your databases from master to slave and then restart the mysql server on master, note down the master position using 'show master status' and set those postion in the slave.
