I have followed the how to on DE replication, i am running FC5. i have followed the How To to the letter but when i try to load data from the master into the slave i get ERROR 1218 (08S01): Error connecting to master: Access denied for user 'slave_user'@'192.168.1.79' (using password: YES) the IP above is the slave Server and the master is .241 I have disabled all firewalls to see if that was the problem. i have even deleted the user and recreated it dozens of times. any help is appreciated. I even through in my Root user and it still gave the same error.
The error message you got is an error message from the MySQL server on the Master, so you're firewall rules did not block anything. You need to allow the slave to connect to the master by giving it the right privileges. Easiest is to use phpMyAdmin and add the ip address 192.168.1.79 (or host name if you have it properly configured in DNS) to the slave_user @192.168.1.241
