Linux Master-Slave Server Setup Guide

To set up a master-slave servers configuration in Linux, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Set up the main server.
  2. Install and set up the necessary database software, such as MySQL.
  3. Edit the configuration file of the database server to enable master server settings. In MySQL, you need to set the server-id and log-bin parameters.
  4. Create users for copying and grant them appropriate permissions.
  5. Restart the database server.
  6. Server configuration
  7. Install and configure the same database software.
  8. Modify the configuration file of the database server to enable slave settings. In MySQL, you will need to set the server-id and relay-log parameters.
  9. Restart the database server.
  10. Enable master-slave replication.
  11. Execute a backup on the main server and retrieve the location of the binary log files (such as the master status command).
  12. Execute the CHANGE MASTER TO command on the server, specifying the IP address, username, password, and location of the binary log file for the master server.
  13. Initiate the replication process from the server.
  14. Verify master-slave replication:
  15. Make changes to the database on the main server, such as adding new data.
  16. Make sure the replication process is running and there are no errors by executing the command SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G on the server.
  17. Check if the database on the server is synchronized with the database on the main server.

By doing this, you have successfully set up a master-slave server in Linux. Please note that the specific configuration steps may vary depending on the database software you are using. Refer to the relevant database documentation for more detailed configuration guidelines.
