I'm trying to get a second server running using mysql 4.1.15 on Mac OS X
10.3.9. I have one server running as my main development server, and
would like a second to use for testing alternate DB Schema.
I've followed the instructions in the manual section 5.12.2 'running
multiple servers on unix', but have only tried to use the instructions
regarding running a second server from the same installation as the first.
I gave the following command-line options to mysqld_safe:
--datadir=/path/to/alternate/datadir
--log-bin=testmysql-bin
--port=3307
--socket=/tmp/testmysql.sock
where the path was one appropriate to my installation, but I got back an
error saying:
A mysqld process already exists
Is it necessarry to also designate an alternate pid file for the test
installation? Any other ideas why this fails?
Any suggestions for getting it to work without having to install an
etirely separate mysql to run it off?
Thanks,
C
