I guess you should be able to run multiple instances if you start each instance on a different port.

One posting states, that is's not possible, another states that is can be done using mysqld-nt for the first instance and mysql-nt-max for the second instance and a third posting states that this can be done for mysql >= 4.0.2. Is any of this right? And if yes, how do i have to set up the services? I guess, i need a my.cnf file for each of the instances, of course using different datapaths and ports. But how can i install the mysqld-nt service multiple times using different service names and refering to different my.cnf files? Thanks a lot for your help! - Frank -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
