I have a need to have two MySQL installations operable on the same
Mac OS X server (which is much the same as a configuration for Linux
or BSD). One is a complete binary installation to a custom location
and the other a complete source installation to the standard
installation location of /usr/local/bin. They have separate socket
files and ports assigned to each (I realize this is not ideal but is
what I need to do in my particular case).
The MySQL manual mentions that the option file should be located at:
DATADIR/my.cnf for Server-specific options. If I create two separate
my.cnf files and locate them in the appropriate DATADIR for each of
these, will there be any confusion over the options to be used? I am
having problems doing so.
BTW, according to the manual:
"DATADIR is the MySQL data directory (typically
`/usr/local/mysql/data' for a binary installation or `/usr/local/var'
for a source installation). Note that this is the directory that was
specified at configuration time."
Can I change this after installation and initial configuration?
