Hi, I am running MySQL-3.22.32 and MySQL-3.23.47 on Solaris 8. In reading through your documentation for 3.23.47, I noticed that in section "4.1.4 Running Multiple MySQL Servers on the Same Machine" it is written:
"If you want to run multiple servers, the easiest way is to compile the servers with different TCP/IP ports and socket files so they are not both listening to the same TCP/IP port or socket file. See section 4.7.3 mysqld_multi, program for managing multiple MySQL servers." This leads me to believe that I can use mysqld_multi to start instances of both 3.22.32 and 3.23.47. However, as far as I can tell, mysqld_multi is actually only useful for starting multiple instances of one version of MySQL since there seems to be know way to specify a different version of safe_mysqld or mysqladmin for different mysqld groups. I would really like to be able to use mysqld_multi to start/stop both multiple instances of 3.23.47 and instances of 3.22.32 since I am in a situation where MySQL will get upgraded for different applications at different times and I will definitely be running multiple versions of MySQL most of the time. I like the idea of being able to go to one place to start/stop different servers. Especially since I will not be the only person who has to take care of this part. Am I able to get this functionality out of mysqld_multi, and if so, how do I set that up? If not, would upgrading to 4.x help me?
