Here is a basic step by step tutorial, that will
cover the mysql master and slave replication and also will describe the
mysql master and master replication.
Notions: we will call system 1 as master1 and slave2 and system2 as master2 and slave 1
Step 1:
Install mysql on master 1 and slave 1. configure network services on both system, like
Master 1/Slave 2 ip: 192.168.16.4
Master 2/Slave 1 ip : 192.168.16.5
Step 2:
On Master 1, make changes in my.cnf:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
old_passwords=1
log-bin
binlog-do-db=<database name> # input the database which should be replicated
binlog-ignore-db=mysql # input the database that should be ignored for replication
binlog-ignore-db=test
server-id=1
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[mysqld_safe]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
Step 3:
On master 1, create a replication slave account in mysql.
mysql> grant replication slave on *.* to 'replication'@192.168.16.5 \
identified by 'slave';
and restart the mysql master1.
Step 4:
Now edit my.cnf on Slave1 or Master2 :
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
old_passwords=1
server-id=2
# for auto increment fields
replicate-same-server-id = 0
auto-increment-increment = 2
auto-increment-offset = 2
master-host = 192.168.16.4
master-user = replication
master-password = slave
master-port = 3306
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[mysqld_safe]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
Step 5:
Restart mysql slave 1 and at
mysql> start slave;
mysql> show slave status\G;
Step 6:
On master 1:
mysql> show master status;
Note:The above scenario is for master-slave, now we will create a slave
master scenario for the same systems and it will work as master master.
Step 7:
On Master2/Slave 1, edit my.cnf and master entries into it:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
server-id=2
master-host = 192.168.16.4
master-user = replication
master-password = slave
master-port = 3306
log-bin #information for becoming master added
binlog-do-db=adam
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[mysqld_safe]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
Step 8:
Create a replication slave account on master2 for master1:
mysql> grant replication slave on *.* to 'replication'@192.168.16.4 identified by 'slave2';
Step 9:
Edit my.cnf on master1 for information of its master.
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
log-bin
binlog-do-db=adam
binlog-ignore-db=mysql
binlog-ignore-db=test
server-id=1
replicate-same-server-id = 0
auto-increment-increment = 2
auto-increment-offset = 1
#information for becoming slave.
master-host = 192.168.16.5
master-user = replication
master-password = slave2
master-port = 3306
[mysql.server]user=mysqlbasedir=/var/lib
Step 10:
Restart both mysql master1 and master2.
On mysql master1:
mysql> start slave;
On mysql master2:
mysql > show master status;
On mysql master 1:
mysql> show slave status\G;
