You're right about what I was asking, but I think Michael was just giving a workaround for using the bundled MySQL server in the absence of such a switch. It's definitely a kludge that I wouldn't expect the typical SlimServer user to be able to handle.
I hadn't thought about the fact that stopping the first SlimServer is also going to kill the MySQL server, so the second SlimServer would then probably crash. Or maybe the second SlimServer instance will try to fire up its own MySQL server instance, and if it's still configured to run on the same SlimServer-chosen port number, that will cause its own conflicts. Either way, it likely wouldn't work very well. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29063 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
