Hey All, I want to install the mySql 4.0.9 to try out some features but I want to make sure my 3.23.54 release stays 100% as is. I'd like to have both servers running, using different data dirs etc. etc. In short I don't want anything at all shared between the two.
I've read a bunch of docs on the site as well as the multi install section the MySql book and what I've come up with so far is. Download the source install and configure with the following options. --prefix=/usr/mysql_409 (new dir for the 4.0 install) --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql4/mysql.sock --localstatedir=/usr/mysql_409/db --with-tcp-port=4006 Now I'm at the point where I have a bunch of questions I can't seem to find a positive answer for.. 1. Are those the only options needed? Will this make sure that /etc/my.cf is only used for the 3.x install and the 4.x will allow me to have a my.cnf in the /usr/mysql_409 dir? 2. This is dumb, but do I pass each option one at a time into ./configure? Meaning I tried to do it all at once, for example "./configure --prefix=/usr/mysql_409 \ --with-unix ...)", but I got an error of it not seeing the second param as a valid setting, yet if I do each one, one at a time it works fine. 3. Is port 4406 OK for second install? 4. How do I get a local mysql prompt, do I just start using "-P 4406" whenever I want to connect on the command line? Its only my dev machine so I'm not worried about too much, I just really want to make sure I don't mess with the 3.x install.
