How to restore slave server in MySQL master/slave replication

Posted October 6, 2014 22.2k views

I had MySQL master/slave replication working properly but suddenly it stopped syncing and then accidentally someone changed MASTER_LOG_POSS and MASTER_LOG_FILE so I got this when i do this in slave

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G

So i checked master log and updated latest log file in slave and it started syncing but after one day new log_file generated in master so slave started giving same error.

Can anyone tell me proper fix for it without downtime.

It sounds like you are restoring correctly if it started syncing again. Normally all you need to do is tell the slave about the new binlog file and position using something like:

CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_FILE='binlog-name', MASTER_LOG_POS=4;

I think it’s more important to figure out why it’s happening in the first place. Usually this is because the master has crashed and restarted. Have you reviewed the log files on the master? One common reason for MySql to crash is that it has ran out of memory. Beside the MySql logs, I’d also check the syslog for mentions of “OOM” or “Out of Memory” If you haven’t done so, try adding a swap file to give yourself a little breathing room on the memory front.

Swap space can be used as an "overflow" area for your system when you run out of RAM. The operating system can store data that would normally be kept in RAM on the hard drive in a specially formatted file. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to create and use one of these files in Ubuntu 14.04.

    I did same when i saw first fatal error 1236 . But it came again as soon as master created new binlog file on server.
