Hi All, I tried running 2 MariaDB servers and MaxScale on my laptop. I gave different configurations to both MariaDB servers with separate data and log directories. Referred this <http://www.ducea.com/2009/01/19/running-multiple-instances-of-mysql-on-the-same-machine/> for it. Also have set up MaxScale from "MaxScale for rest of us" series on MariaDB blog. 1. https://mariadb.com/blog/maxscale-rest-us-part-1 2. https://mariadb.com/blog/maxscale-rest-us-part-2 3. https://mariadb.com/blog/maxscale-rest-us-part-3 4. https://mariadb.com/blog/maxscale-rest-us-part-4 So, i tried to set up the readwritesplit router with 1 master and 1 slave. Here, the replication mechanism worked fine but the queries are always executed on the master server. Example output for a read query: mysql -h localhost -u maxuser -p test -e "select c1, @@server_id from t1" Enter password: +------+-------------+ | c1 | @@server_id | +------+-------------+ | 1 | 1 | +------+-------------+ server_id for master is 1 whereas for slave it is 11, which is never displayed in the output. Can someone help me with this? Should I try the same config with one more slave? Are there any better resources for setting up MaxScale? Thanks, Sriram
