Hello and many thanks in advance for any help offered.

I am trying to setup replication between one master and one slave on freebsd 6.2 and mysql 5.1.12-beta. I know this is not a bsd forum, but I tried the bsd forum and recieved no responses after 4 days so I figured I would give this a shot.

I have changed both my.cnf's on each to reflect their roles.

Ithought for sure that I have things set up properly, but when trying a dump I recieve:
mysqldump: Error: Binlogging on server not active

So I guess I don't have it correctly configured so that is why I cannot for the life of me find a mysql-bin* anywhere, and why I issue a show master status command and it always returns empty.
I have read many posts, tutorials, examples etc of setting up replication but I seem to be completely stuck. I am afraid I may have messed it up somewhere, but I get no errors on master(but no file). Through the gui mysql administrator front end I can see two databases cluster and cluster replication with a name of binlog_index stored . Not sure what that means.

I do show slave status on the slave and receive:

mysql> show slave status;

So really at this point any help is really appreciated. I will gladly offer more info when asked.
Thank you again.
