Whether you have Server configured with WAMP or as a Dedicated DB, the concepts for setting up multimaster replication is identical.
Before I go on, let me clarify the phrase multimaster replication.
True multimaster replication would have a Slave with Multiple Masters. It is not possible at present. MySQL 5.6 is approaching this. I think MariaDB as well. What most people call multimaster replication is, in reality, Master/Master (circular) replication.
Master/Master Replication is nothing more that an interleaving of the Master/Slave paradigm between two DB servers. This is what I will answer.
Back on Feb 06, 2012, I wrote a script to create a Slave from a Given Master ( How to setup replication(Master/slave) in MySQL 5.5.20? ). The script is Linux-centric. Since you said WAMP, you should apply the concepts for the Windows environment. I will do my best to translate the concepts:
Scenario
- WDB is the WAMP Server (IP 10.1.2.20)
- DDB is the Dedicated Windows DB Server (IP 10.1.2.30)
#STEP #1
Edit my.ini on WDB and make sure it has
[mysqld]
server-id=1
log-slave-updates
log-bin=mysql-bin
relay-log=relay-bin
If it does not have these, add these to my.ini and then run this
C:\> net stop mysql
C:\> net start mysql
#STEP #2
Edit my.ini on DDB and make sure it has
[mysqld]
server-id=2
log-slave-updates
log-bin=mysql-bin
relay-log=relay-bin
If it does not have these, add these to my.ini and then run this
C:\> net stop mysql
C:\> net start mysql
#STEP #3
Please open C:\MasterSlaveSetup.bat it in notepad.
set MYSQL_MASTER_HOST=10.1.2.20
set MYSQL_SLAVE_HOST=10.1.2.30
set MYSQL_USER=root
set MYSQL_PASS=rootpassword
set MYSQL_CONN=-u%MYSQL_USER% -p%MYSQL_PASS%
set MYSQL_MASTER_CONN=-h%MYSQL_MASTER_HOST} %MYSQL_CONN%
set MYSQL_SLAVE_CONN=-h%MYSQL_SLAVE_HOST} $MYSQL_CONN%
set MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS=--master-data=1
set MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS=%MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS% --single-transaction
set MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS=%MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS% --routines
set MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS=%MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS% --triggers
set MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS=%MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS% --flush-privileges
set MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS=%MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS% --all-databases
mysql ${MYSQL_MASTER_CONN} -AN -e"GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO repluser@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'replpass'"
set RELOAD_FILE=C:\MySQLData.sql
echo STOP SLAVE; > %RELOAD_FILE%
echo CHANGE MASTER TO master_host='%MYSQL_MASTER_HOST%'," >> %RELOAD_FILE%
echo master_port=3306, >> %RELOAD_FILE%
echo master_user='repluser', >> %RELOAD_FILE%
echo master_password='replpass', >> %RELOAD_FILE%
echo master_log_file='dummy-file', >> %RELOAD_FILE%
echo master_log_pos=1; >> %RELOAD_FILE%
mysqldump %MYSQL_MASTER_CONN% %MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS% >> %RELOAD_FILE%
echo "START SLAVE;" >> %RELOAD_FILE%
mysql %MYSQL_SLAVE_CONN% -A < %RELOAD_FILE%
#STEP #4
Run C:\MasterSlaveSetup.bat
#STEP #5
C:\> copy C:\MasterSlaveSetup.bat C:\MasterSlaveSetup2.bat
#STEP #6
Edit C:\MasterSlaveSetup2.bat to reverse the IP Addresses as follows:
set MYSQL_MASTER_HOST=10.1.2.30
set MYSQL_SLAVE_HOST=10.1.2.20
#STEP #7
Run C:\MasterSlaveSetup.bat
When done, you should have Circular Replication fully set up. To test it, login to each MySQL instance and run SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G. You should see something like this:
mysql> show slave status\G

If you see Slave_IO_Running=Yes and Slave_SQL_Running=Yes on both DB Servers, CONGRATULATIONS !!! You did it.
#CAVEAT
The Dedicated DB Server does not have to a Windows Server. It could be a Linux server.
