second instance installation

Hi All ,

I am trying to install a second instance on a server where a first instance is installed as rpm package

installed first instance = 5.1
second instance needed = 5.6 (need it for delayed replication,mk-slave-delay may help but prefer the delay from server side)
OS = solaris sparc 10

so to install second instance i gave all diff paths in a my2.cnf file

[mysqld]
datadir=/path/mysql2
pid-file=/path/mysqld2/mysqld.pid
log-bin=/path/mysql2/mysql-bin.log
log-error=/path/mysql_log/mysqld.log
port = 3307
socket = /path/mysql2/mysql.sock


"/path/" will be common for both instances

so for second instance i am using a TAR file this time but not rpm package.
with the cnf file when i run this command

/base_path/scripts/mysql_install_db --datadir=/path/mysql2 --user=mysql --defaults-file=/etc/my2.cnf

am I doing it right ? because when i try to start the second instance

/base_path/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

i am running into same mysqld and the second instance is not starting

can any one tell me where i am wrong or exact steps to do this

Thanks
