mysql ha replication question

I'm using debian sarge on a master machine and sarge on a posible slave.

The howto requires you to change the socket location from:

/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ##Default debian location...

To:

/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock


Is there any really good reason for doing this? I would really like to keep it were debian likes it. Can I follow the walkthrough without changing this? The database in question is very important to me.


Thanks,



dan

 

To which tutorial (URL) are you referring?

 

http://howtoforge.org/mysql_master_master_replication

 

I haven't tested the tutorial, but I think you can leave the socket as it is.

 

I'll do a fresh dump of the databases and give it a go.


Thank you,



dan

 

This tutorial was deployed over the RedHAT, once can follow the default path for debian.

Thx,
