Thanks, Prabhat! You're very right, but did you read the questions I asked?

Subject: Re: starting multiple instances with mysqld_multi
Hi,
You can run multiple instances on the same host and specify configuration
options either by adding the options as arguments on the command line, or by
storing them in configuration files.
for example, from the command line:
shell> mysqld --port 3306 --log=/path/to/server1/log
shell> mysqld --port 3307 --log=/path/to/server2/log
So, when MySQL starts up it reads various config files in sequence. This means
that you can set global options for all instances in one file and then specific
options for individual instances in separate files.
The files it reads by default are (on linux)
>>/etc/my.cnf
>>the_mysql_data_dir/my.cnf
>>~/.my.cnf
>>
You can direct the server to read specific config files after it reads the
default /etc/my.cnf file with the following directive.
--defaults-extra-file=/path/to/extra/config/file
So, if you wanted 2 instances running with some shared options and some
specific options, you could create additional configuration files in /etc say:
/etc/my.server1.cnf
/etc/my.server2.cnf
where my.server1.cnf has the following lines:
port=3306
log=/path/to/log/file/for/server1
(other options here)
and my.server2.cnf is:
port=3307
log=/path/to/log/file/for/server2
(other options here)
then you could start the separate instances of mysqld as follows:
shell> mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/etc/my.server1.cnf
shell> mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/etc/my.server2.cnf
