Hi Mark, there is no problem to run both MySQL servers 3.23 / 4.0.16. Just pay attention to (particulary options file) : - configure two my.cnf files, each version must have it server specific options file. remarks that you cannot put the same file in the same place /etc/. Place each of them in his own install directory /usr/local/mysql-version_number/data/my.cnf for example. - use two different PORT, SOCKET, DATADIR, LOGs FILE names - you are already setup a new directory for version 4.0.16, it's ok . - prepare two start/stop script (with different names in /etc/init.d/rc.d/) and customize them according to each my.cnf variable present in these scripts.
This is sufficient for running the 2 servers version independently . I have the same configuration (on RedHat 8, neverthless).
