今天在配置mysql replication的时候，修改完my.cnf文件，然后重启mysql service ,当执行下列命名的时候报错：

mysql> change master to master_host='127.0.0.1', master_user='usertest', master_pass  

word='usertest', master_log_file='mysql-bin-000002', master_log_pos=8;  

ERROR 1201 (HY000): Could not initialize master info structure; more error messages can be found in the MySQL error log  


check错误日志文件 mysqld.log ,发现有如下错误：

140123 12:48:18 [ERROR] Error reading master configuration

140123 12:48:18 [ERROR] Failed to initialize the master info structure

后来检查发现在mysql数据库文件夹下面有个 空的master.info 文件（有时候还有个空的relay-log.info），问题在这里。

解决办法：

method 1 :

mysql> stop slave ;

mysql> reset salve ;

then change master

mysql> change master to master_host='127.0.0.1', master_user='usertest', master_pass  

word='usertest', master_log_file='mysql-bin-000002', master_log_pos=8;  

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)  

method 2 :

rm -f /var/lib/mysql/master.info

then

mysql> change master to master_host='127.0.0.1', master_user='usertest', master_pass  

word='usertest', master_log_file='mysql-bin-000002', master_log_pos=12;  

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)  


at last ,check the replicatin to see if config well

mysql> start slave ;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)


mysql> show slave status \G
