Can not activate the log-bin=

[John Red]

Hello, I have a database that uses the InnoDB engine on all his tables, running on a Windows Server 2008 r2 64bit in a VM farm.

The policies of my organization promotes that every server has to have a replication that can run in the case of disaster in the primary (a DRP).

So, in order to achieve that, I tried to activate the log-bin, (to deploy a slave server), I checked the CPU and Memory usage and everything seemed to be normal, but the log file wasn't created, also the DB started reject connections and the app started to act odd. As soon as I deactivated the log-bin everything went back to normal (immediately).

I need to pull this off, so I'm begging the powers that be (in this forum) for someone that can give me orientation (any :]).

The next time I try to activate the log, besides the CPU and Memory of the server, What others things can I monitor to enable the log?

I'm completely new in the replication, so any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
John Red
