Mysql – Configuring slave from EC2 master to Amazon RDS slave

amazon ec2amazon-rdsMySQLreplication

I am configuring replication from EC2 master to Amazon RDS instance.

After starting the slave, I don't see any errors but I see slave_IO:

_thread is connecting. 

Master version:5.6.23
Slave Version:5.6.19

====================

The problem is Slave_IO_state is connecting and Slave_io_thread is connecting state but replication is not happening.

You may not have opened the right ports or provided the REPLICATION SLAVE permissions:

Mysql – Create a thesql slave database from master database

Going by your question, I will like to review what I believe you did thus far:

You stopped mysql on the Master
You copied Master's /var/lib/mysql to the Slave's /var/lib/mysql
I surmise the binlogs on the Master were copied as well

Look at the Slave's last binlog. From the question, it should be

mydbm1-bin.008524
Filesize 1330529

Believe it or not, you have to do a few things:

1) On the Master, create a replication user like this:

GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE,REPLICATION CLIENT
ON *.* TO replicator@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'r3plic4t0R';

2) Make /var/lib/mysql on the Slave owned by mysql user

chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

3) Make sure Master's server_id is explicitly set in my.cnf

[mysqld]
server_id = 1

4) Make sure Slave's server_id is explicitly set in my.cnf

[mysqld]
server_id = 2

5) Startup mysql on the Slave

service mysql start

6) Setup replication by running this on the Slave

CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='IPAddressOfMaster',
MASTER_PORT=3306,
MASTER_USER='replicator',
MASTER_PASSWORD='r3plic4t0R',
MASTER_LOG_FILE='mydbm1-bin.008524',
MASTER_LOG_POS=1330529;
START SLAVE;
SELECT SLEEP(5);
SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G

You will see something like this:

mysql> show slave status\G

If Slave_IO_Running and Slave_SQL_Running are both Yes, CONGRATULATIONS !!!

I already answered a post back on Feb 06, 2012 ( How to setup replication(Master/slave) in MySQL 5.5.20? ) with essentially the same steps.

I wanted to add additional posts I made for setting up Circular Replication should you decide to setup the two DB servers as Master/Master

Sep 24, 2012 : Setting up MySQL circular replication in existing replication topology?
May 07, 2012 : Setting Circular Replication in mysql

MySQL slave replicates changes that are in neither binlog_do_db nor replicate_do_db

Replication filtering isn't bulletproof. Due to how the filtering is implemented the events responsible for your errors are being generated because the default database at query runtime is the my-database schema as expected and the query being executed is fully qualified INSERT INTO phpmyadmin.pma_column_info...

Peter Zaitsev explains the scenario well in this post:
