Question

Multi Node Mysql cluster setup, API node mysqld not starting.

I am following below link for Multi Node MySQL cluster setup. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-multi-node-mysql-cluster-on-ubuntu-16-04#

Almost all steps goes well till i start the mysqld on Manager Node.

After running -: sudo systemctl start mysqld Error massage - : Job for mysqld.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status mysqld.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

Don’t know what wrong i m doing followed exactly same steps given in document.

Note - I am doing this setup on AWS and not on DigitalOcean

Answering my own question, I found the solution. Note -: While creating the “mysql” user and group on “manager.mysql.cluster” we are missing to do following, which is stopping Mysqld to start.

  1. sudo groupadd mysql
  2. sudo useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql
  3. sudo mkdir -p /data/mysql
  4. sudo mkdir /var/lib/mysql-files
  5. sudo chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql-files
  6. sudo chown mysql:mysql /data/mysql

Rest all the steps are perfectly correct. Now everything is working as expected.

But i want to test actual cluster benefit like taking node-1 down and checking if the web site or application is still working and again starting the node-1 and it should have all the database sync on it.

Kindly shade some light how can we do this practice before using it in real setup.

Thanks Pushkar
