Error connecting to master

[Andreas Otto]

Hi,

I have just started to use replication and try to get a master - slave replication to work.

I thought I have followed the manual but I can't get it to work.

The error log says:
080213 17:08:47 [ERROR] Slave I/O thread: error connecting to master '[e-mail]:3306': Error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' errno: 2013 retry-time: 60 retries: 86400

Any ideas what might be wrong?
