Yes, you can start slimserver.pl (on Linux) or Slim.exe (on Windows)
with arguments.
As an example, this is how I start SlimServer on my development
machine:
With bundled MySQL server:
Code:
--------------------
slimserver.pl --prefsfile slimserver65_standalone.pref --cachedir
/var/lib/slimserver/Cache65
--------------------
With external MySQL server:
Code:
--------------------
slimserver.pl --prefsfile slimserver65.pref --cachedir
/var/lib/slimserver/Cache65
--------------------
In a standard installation the MySQL database is stored in the
Cache/MySQL directory, so if you like both installation to use the same
settings but different database, it should even be possible to just
specify the --cachedir parameter.
The parameters look a bit different if you are running the 7.0 alpha
version, but the idea is the same.
