I'm trying to configure MySQL on a Bitnami-prepared VM for replication, and I am having issues with its binary logging.
When I add the line log-bin = mysql-bin or log_bin = mysql-bin in the my.cnf file under [mysqld], everything saves and MySQL restarts just fine. But when I test my application, only read transactions are working. Editing or creating new content fails.
I haven't found another cnf file that I'm conflicting with, and the bin logs do appear. But there seems to be some strange effects happening that I haven't encountered when configuring other MySQL servers in the past.
Anyone have an idea about what's going on?
