Need Assistance with DMS Ongoing Replication Setup - Configuration Error in my.ini File

Question

Hello Every one,
I've successfully set up a DMS migration to MYSQL 5.7 between two EC2 Instances , but I'm encountering an issue when attempting to establish ongoing replication. The system prompted me to add specific configurations to my.ini file in the source server, which include the following:
"[mysqld]
log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id=1
bind-address = 0.0.0.0"
However, after incorporating these settings, the service fails to restart again. Could someone kindly assist me in resolving this issue? Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
Note: the OS is windows server 2012

Thank you!

Hello,

For Windows, you may want to specify the exact path to the `log-bin`.  Below are some other settings that are recommended for MySQL with DMS.  Make sure you follow the correct format and there are no spaces around the `=`.  It looks like in your example you have `bind-address = 0.0.0.0` instead of `bind-address=0.0.0.0`.

```
server_id=1
log-bin=E:\MySql_Logs\BinLog
expire_logs_days=1
binlog_format=ROW
binlog_checksum=NONE
binlog_row_image=FULL
log_slave_updates=TRUE
```

Make sure the `log-bin` points to a real path, the example uses an external drive, but your location may be on `C:\`.
