Dear all,

I have a pretty simple setup. A LAMP server in production and a
failover LAMP server in case the main server is down.

I have been searching around to find out a clear answer of how to
proceed when you need to promote a MySQL 5.5 slave server when the
master (also 5.5) has crashed.

So far I have read that if the master crashes I should issue an stop
slave in the slave server and restart the mysql service (otherwise the
master info is still kept in memory) with a skip-start-slave setting. Is
that right? Is that all?

Regards,

Miguel
