Paul, You need to run another server on a different port with a different socket path.
See http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Multiple_servers.html And http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqld_multi.html to manage multiple MySQL servers. Cheers, Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Paul Maine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 22 September 2002 12:26 To: MySQL MySQL Subject: Multiple concurrent MySQL question? I desire to configure MySQL in such a way that it will permit me to have two different PHP/MySQL e-commerce applications running concurrently on my development system. The table names and table structure are the same on both applications(and databases). I have received a SQL backup from the new client and would just like to be able to restore it to a directory and start up another copy of MySQL and point it to the new location. I know that I could create two different databases to accomplish what I desire however, I would have to change all of the security tables for the new database. What are your suggestions to solve this issue?
