-----Original Message----- From: Kevin Cowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 9:58 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: RE: Two versions of MySQL on same machine You need to install each version into its own directory/path structure - if you have a default install of Mysql then you also need to take this into account. For each version you need to setup a my.cnf and if you want full separation different database directories. In the my.cnf you specify different ports/sockets. For any given user you then need to ensure they pickup the correct binaries and libraries(if they're building applications). If you're auto starting Mysql at boot you either need to write a script which provides each version separately or write a generice script which finds and starts/stops/shutsdown each installed version. Then you'll need to work out migrations strategies, user admin between versions, etc. Welcome to the world of system/database admin.
