Yes, that's the problem. Until now I started the two servers from the command line/batch file/service and each server had its own my.ini. The two servers are in replication: one master and another slave. Two days ago I read that I can use a unique my.ini for the both servers; and MySQL for Windows is searching for the ini file in an unique place. I tried to find that mysqld_multi tool in the MySQL Win package but no trace of it.
But the ideea sounded very interesting to me so I tried to find the answer for Win MySQL in this list. Thank you very much, I'm happy to use this elegant and clean solution, tommorrow I'll put both to start by the unique my.ini file.
