Yes stop the old and start the new...on a side note...should have bought
DuBios's book...ISBN: 0-7357-0921-1 Found it to be an invaluable source on
this sort of stuff. In any event safe_mysqld seems to be default on most
sytems...Yes please get you security straight...if the app is colocated on
the same server you can get away with localhost, however; if not then you
must make an entry for each domain...
Cheers,
Mikel
