Hello All: Did anybody setup multiple mysql servers on single machine? Do I have to use mysqld_multi? I tried using this but gives me this error: ABORT: Bad GNR: mysql2 See mysqld_multi --help This is how I ran mysqld_multi: mysqld_multi --config-file=/etc/my.cnf start mysqld2 Here are the entries in my.cnf file: [mysqld2] socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock2 port=3308 pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid2 datadir=/var/lib/mysql2 language=/usr/share/mysql/english Here is my environment: RedHat Linux 7.0 MySQL 3.23.32 Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ...Rohit
