Hello, I have mysqld-max (3.23.51) running on a Windows 2000 machine. Is it possible to run another MySQL server alongside it, using the same my.ini file but set on a different port, e.g. with
mysqld-max --standalone --console --port=3307 The reason I want to do this is to check changes to the my.ini file (adding binary logging) before I shutdown and restart the main MySQL server; I'd rather know it's going to work, than have to shut down and restart the main server multiple times if there are problems. I've tried this with a server on my localhost (it seems to work fine), but don't this is obviously running under different conditions, and the process might not be so smooth on a large, running server.
