Hi Okan, Well, the only solution I know of, to diffrentiate the two servers are to provide different argument on the command line. The server will allways read any of the files; my.ini or my.cnf first, and there set the parameters, after that it will take the command line arguments. This means that you should make sure that you override any properties in the files with the command line args, if necessary.
There are couple of pages of this information in the manul; "Running Multiple MySQL Server on the same Machine."

But I want these servers to have different variables/my.ini files. I just wonder about the initial parameters of the second MySQL server. Does it also read the c:/winnt/my.ini values or do you refer it to some other parameter file? If so, how?

Sorry, ohh... So simple The reason for the problem was ofcourse that I did not provide a --datadir=c:\\mysql\\data parameter, this superseeded the parameter set in the config file.

This is because we are shipping mysql with our product and then we would like to have the database installed within our product. And also run separate from any other MySQL database that might be installed on the system. When I try to run the command: C:\mysql\bin>mysqld-nt --basedir=c:\\mysql --port=3321 --standalone mysqld-nt: Can't change dir to 'C:\Program Files\ComOpt\mysql\data\' (Errcode: 2) 020830 14:27:37 Aborting 020830 14:27:37 mysqld-nt: Shutdown Complete This seems to have to do with the file my.ini located in c:\winnt, because if I remove it, it will work. But according to the manual the command line arguments should have higher priority than the config files, or environment varibales. My question is thus, how do I come around this problem and make it possible to run multiple installations of MySQL ?
