Hi, I want to have my application running on server A and have my MySQL DB installed on a another server B. Because I need to call MySQL programs on A I have installed the MySQL package on A and want simply to locate the DB on B. OK I can also install everything on B and start the deamons on both machines and connect with -hostname -user from A to B but it doesn't seem very nice to me. I have tried the parameter --datadir=\\B\MySQL\data on a shareable directory but the new inserted rows are only shown after restarting the daemon on A. Perhaps I should use such parameters as --flush or any others to avoid this problem ? But I think a such a solution can bring to poor performance which is not the goal. I have tried the parameters --bind-address with --port but I get the following error messages: can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No error 010130 16:11:39 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 010130 16:11:39 Aborting whether or not a daemon is running on B Does someone have got a clue because I don't see any docus on this theme ?
