Hello everyone,

This is my first attempt at MySQL database replication. Can't seem to get it to work yet. The problem reported in the error log of the slave server is as follows:

Error reading packet from server: Access denied for user 'repl@slave_host' (Using password: YES) (read_errno 0,server_errno=1045)

I believe it has something to do with the way I granted privileges to the user repl. I did the following:

GRANT FILE ON dbname.* to repl@'%' identified by 'some_password';
