This section describes how to set up complete replication of a MySQL server. There are a number of different methods for setting up replication, and the exact method to use depends on how you are setting up replication, and whether you already have data within your master database.
There are some generic tasks that are common to all replication setups:
On the master, you must enable binary logging and configure a unique server ID. This might require a server restart. See Section 17.1.1.1, “Setting the Replication Master Configuration”.
On each slave that you want to connect to the master, you must configure a unique server ID. This might require a server restart. See Section 17.1.1.2, “Setting the Replication Slave Configuration”.
Optionally, create a separate user for your slaves to use during authentication with the master when reading the binary log for replication. See Section 17.1.1.3, “Creating a User for Replication”.
Before creating a data snapshot or starting the replication process, you should record the position of the binary log on the master. You will need this information when configuring the slave so that the slave knows where within the binary log to start executing events. See Section 17.1.1.4, “Obtaining the Replication Master Binary Log Coordinates”.
If you already have data on your master and want to use it to synchronize your slave, you need to create a data snapshot. There are different methods to create the database snapshot, depending on the size of the database and the location of the files. Create a snapshot using mysqldump (see Section 17.1.1.5, “Creating a Data Snapshot Using mysqldump”) or by copying the data files directly (see Section 17.1.1.6, “Creating a Data Snapshot Using Raw Data Files”).
Configure the slave with settings for connecting to the master, such as the host name, login credentials, and binary log file name and position. See Section 17.1.1.10, “Setting the Master Configuration on the Slave”.
After configuring the basic options, select your scenario:
To set up replication for a fresh installation of a master and slaves that contain no data, see Section 17.1.1.7, “Setting Up Replication with New Master and Slaves”.
To set up replication of a new master using the data from an existing MySQL server, see Section 17.1.1.8, “Setting Up Replication with Existing Data”.
To add replication slaves to an existing replication environment, see Section 17.1.1.9, “Introducing Additional Slaves to an Existing Replication Environment”.
Before administering MySQL replication servers, read this entire chapter and try all statements mentioned in Section 13.4.1, “SQL Statements for Controlling Master Servers”, and Section 13.4.2, “SQL Statements for Controlling Slave Servers”. Also familiarize yourself with the replication startup options described in Section 17.1.4, “Replication and Binary Logging Options and Variables”.
Note
Certain steps within the setup process require the
SUPER privilege. If you do not
have this privilege, it might not be possible to enable
replication.

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
---
* Which means that Mysql password for user 'debian-sys-maint' isn't the same as in file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.
* Because this password is randomly generated, they are different for each installation, and we have to 'synchronize' this password between debian.cnf file and Mysql privileges.
1 - On the master, get a copy of the password string in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
2 - On the slave, stop the Mysql server, edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf and replace the password by the one of the master. Start the slave server.
If you want to change it
1 - Launch a Mysql client and select 'mysql' database
2 - run this : UPDATE `user` SET `Password` = password('[password]') where user='debian-sys-maint'
(the password seems to be encrypted but is not)
3 - stop the Mysql server (you get an error for 'debian-sys-maint')
4 - change and put same [password] in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf file
"ERROR 1218 (08S01): Error connecting to master: Lost connection to MySQL server during query"
Make sure that ,on you're master replication server, you change the following line in your my.cnf:
bind-address 127.0.0.1
to
#bind-address 127.0.0.1
Or change the address to your FQDN or ip-addres
This works for InnoDB tables, if you have set transactionality to REPEATABLE-READ.

(Urghh... I see no way to embed code into these posts. Hence the ugly "____" thing to indicate indentation. I suggest copying into something with a non-proportinal font, to make it easier to read)
Be Safe, target your SQL for the Unix standard of "LowerCase" and you will be a happy developer/administrator!
MySQL Failover Circular Replication
===================================
Assume we have 2 servers: Server1 and Server2.
Server1 Settings
================
1. Put the option file my.cnf to Server1 path /etc with these settings:
[mysqld]
log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id = 1
auto_increment_increment = 10
auto_increment_offset = 1
2. Change mode/permission for my.cnf to _rw_r__r__ else mysql will igonore it.
sudo chmod 644 my.cnf
3. Stop and start mysql.
cd /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo ./MySQLCOM stop
sudo ./MySQLCOM start
4. Configure the server:
# create a user for replication process:
cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
./mysql -p -u root
create user replicant@'%' identified by 'password';
# Grant access rights:
GRANT SELECT, PROCESS, FILE, SUPER, REPLICATION CLIENT, REPLICATION SLAVE, RELOAD ON *.* TO replicant@'%';
Flush Privileges;
# Specify the info for the serve2:
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='ip_of_server2',
MASTER_USER='replication_user_name_on_server2',
MASTER_PASSWORD='replication_password_on_server2';
# Start the listerner:
Start slave;
# Verify whether the replication is working:
show slave status\G
Server2 Settings
================
1. Put the option file my.cnf on to Server2 path /etc
with these settings:
[mysqld]
log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id = 2
auto_increment_increment = 10
auto_increment_offset = 2
2. Change mode/permission for my.cnf to _rw_r__r__ else mysql will igonore it.
sudo chmod 644 my.cnf
3. Stop and start mysql.
cd /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo ./MySQLCOM stop
sudo ./MySQLCOM start
4. Configure the server:
# create a user for replication process:
cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
./mysql -p -u root
create user replicant@'%' identified by 'password';
# Grant access rights:
GRANT SELECT, PROCESS, FILE, SUPER, REPLICATION CLIENT, REPLICATION SLAVE, RELOAD ON *.* TO replicant@'%';
Flush Privileges;
# Specify the info for the serve1:
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='ip_of_server1',
MASTER_USER='replication_user_name_on_server1',
MASTER_PASSWORD='replication_password_on_server1';
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1',
# MASTER_USER='replicant', MASTER_PASSWORD='password';
# Load data from Server1:
Load Data from Master;
# Start the listerner:
Start slave;
What will happen in a two-node solution with circular replication as described at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/04/20/advanced-mysql-replication.html is that the update is copied to the other node while the local update is overwritten.
This is a flaw that has to be considered, and the right way to resolve this is probably through the MySQL Cluster.
Basically you just need to setup the server id, create a user with the right privilege and start the replication:

The doc was confusing to me and not in chronological order.
