Quick Howto
1. Install the Master server (PlanetPress Connect Server module), making sure to select the
MySQL module.
2. Set the appropriate bindings in MySQL's my.ini file on the Master server.
3. Grant access to the MySQL root user for the appropriate IP range on the Master server.
4. Restart the MySQL Service on the Master server.
5. Install Slave servers (PlanetPress Connect Server Extension module).
6. Install the license on the Master server (a Performance Pack license is required).
7. Set the preferences for the engines (see Scheduling Preferences) on both the Master and
Slaves
8. Install the license on the Slave servers
9. Restart the Master server then, once restarted, restart the Slave servers.
What if MySQL is not on the Master server?
It is possible to setup clustering with a MySQL instance that is on a Slave server instead of on
the master. In this case, the Slave server must be installed with the Server Extension and
MySQL modules, the MySQL instance configured (steps 2-4 above) then the master and other
slaves can be installed. The remainder of the instructions remain the same.
It is also possible to setup clustering with MySQL being installed completely separately from
PlanetPress Connect, such as using an existing MySQL instance. In this case, the instructions
for the bind address must be followed, but the user does not have to be root. A user for MySQL
must, however, be created and have full access (GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES) to a database
called "objectiflune" that can be created before Connect is installed.
Binding and Root access on the Master server
l The MySQL server's binding must be set to accept connections from the slave servers. To
do this, open C:\Program Files\Objectif Lune\OL Connect\MySQL Product\MySQL\my.ini
in a text editor and change the line bind-address= 127.0.0.1 to bind-
address=0.0.0.0.
Once the changes have been made and saved you need to restart the OLConnect_
MySQL service from within the Windows Services dialog.
