Dana, What I did, to set up a second MySQL on our Linux box, compiled the second copy from source, which gives you a lot more control on how MySQL is installed. then created a my.cnf file with all the relavent settings for the second server, port and socket, pid ...etc.. then put this in the datadir folder. Then when I start up the second server i simple do:
safe_mysqld --defaults-file=/path/to/datadir/my.cnf & then it starts up the second serve without any problems. We are current running two separate servers. 3.23.40 and 3.23.44 and it's been working fine for about a month now. :) >On Thu, 22 Nov 2001 10:38:56 -0600, Dana Sharvit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >wrote: >>Hello, >>As you probably know mysql comes installed in Linux 7.1 as default. >>I installed my own mysql server in a different location in the file system, >>In safe_mysqld I indicated the path in which I want the mysql.sock to be >>created in but when I start my mysql server I get an error message: >>Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No such file or direc >>tory >>011116 9:56:26 Do you already have another mysqld server running on >>socket: /v >>ar/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? >>011116 9:56:26 Aborting >> >>the default mysql server on Linux 7.1 is not running but even though I can >>not run my own mysql server. >>In order to solve this I created a symbolic link between >>/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to the path of my mysql server and that works fine >>but I am looking for a better solution - does some one have an idea? >> >>Thanks >>Dana >> >>--------------------------------------------------------------------- >>Before posting, please check: >> http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) >> http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) >> >>To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Trouble unsubscribing?
