I am having issues with MariaDB and Galera running on RHEL 6.4 & 6.2 64bit servers and getting them to cluster. I installed the required RPM's for Galera clustering:

  • MariaDB-Galera-server
  • MariaDB-client
  • MariaDB-compat
  • MariaDB-common
  • MariaDB-shared
  • MariaDB-test
  • galera

Then after installing MariaDB and all of its components, I checked the directories where it normally keeps its files, /var/lib/mysql/ and /var/log/mysql/ and performed a

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

I started both servers in standalone mode and configured a replication user:

grant all privileges on *.* to 'mariadb-user'@'localhost' identified by 'password' with grant option;
grant all privileges on *.* to 'mariadb-user'@'%' identified by 'password' with grant option;

That way, I would have a user for the databases to communicate with. Then I edited my configs on both the Master and Slave nodes:

#
# These groups are read by MariaDB server.
# Use it for options that only the server (but not clients) should see
#
# See the examples of server my.cnf files in /usr/share/mysql/
#

# this is read by the standalone daemon and embedded servers
[server]
general_log_file=/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log
general_log=1
log_warning=2
log-error=/var/log/mysql/error.log
#log-bin=/var/log/mysql-bin.log
log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql-slow-queries.log
# this is only for the mysqld standalone daemon
[mysqld]

# this is only for embedded server
[embedded]

# This group is only read by MariaDB-5.5 servers.
# If you use the same .cnf file for MariaDB of different versions,
# use this group for options that older servers don't understand
[mysqld-5.5]

# These two groups are only read by MariaDB servers, not by MySQL.
# If you use the same .cnf file for MySQL and MariaDB,
# you can put MariaDB-only options here
[mariadb]
wsrep_cluster_address=gcomm://mariadb-master.net,mariadb-slave.net
wsrep_provider=/usr/lib64/galera/libgalera_smm.so
binlog_format=ROW
default_storage_engine=InnoDB
innodb_autoinc_lock_mode=2
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog=1
wsrep_cluster_name=corp-zabbix-server
wsrep_debug=on
wsrep_sst_auth=mariadb-user:cerner
##wsrep_sst_auth=root:
wsrep_sst_method=mysqldump
##wsrep_sst_method=xtrabackup
[mariadb-5.5]

Once the configs were in place, I made sure that the firewalls allowed the traffic to go through, basically by just wiping them out iptables -F. Then I initialized the cluster on the master using:

/etc/init.d/mysql start --wsrep_cluster_address=gcomm://

The Process comes up on the Master node, and on the Slave node using:

service mysql start

The slave node then connects for a bit, exchanges states, and exits saying that the operation is not permitted.

I'm not sure what else I should do. I had this cluster working before, but I reverted to the snapshot right after I had the OS baseline completed. So, in my mind, it should have worked the same way, but it didn't. Should I create a local user on the boxes themselves named the same as the database user?

If you look at the error messages on the pastebin link, on line 18 and 19, there is a reference to this:

130906 12:47:32 [ERROR] mysqld: File '/var/log/mysql-slow-queries.log' not found (Errcode: 13)
130906 12:47:32 [ERROR] Could not use /var/log/mysql-slow-queries.log for logging (error 13). Turning logging off for the whole duration of the MySQL server process. To turn it on again: fix the cause, shutdown the MySQL server and restart it.

What I had done is when I made my config file, I finger fudged a line:

log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql-slow-queries.log

Once I edited this line to reflect:

log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql/mysql-slow-queries.log

The cluster magically worked. I am able to replicate between databases and have them function now. I'm not exactly sure why that one line would prevent everything from working, but it did.
