I have installed MySQL 4.1 in e:\mysql and MySQL 5.0 in e:\mysql5. MySQL 4.1 service name is mysql and MySQL 5.0 service name is mysql5, so they are 2 totally separate programs. However, I want them both use the same port, because I will run only one of them in a certain moment, and not both, so there should be no conflict. I want this because I want to test the speed difference between MySQL 4 and MySQL 5 and I don't want to make any change in the program, but change only the service that listen to MySQL port... However, I've just read that the port should be different, even though I don't know why, and maybe this is the reason I cannot start MySQL 4 even if MySQL 5 is stopped. Thank you.
