Re: Installing MySQL 5 alongside with MySQL 4.

[Göran Törnqvist]

I added --log-error=/var/log/mysqld5.log to the start script.
Tried again and then saw:

051027 13:52:51 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
051027 13:52:51 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
051027 13:52:51 [ERROR] Aborting

Even though I have port=3305
in /etc/my5.cnf ...looks like it doesnt use this cnf file for some reason.

I think its the start script mysql.server that doesnt handle this correctly...it uses the same /etc/my.cnf as 4.1 ...not my /etc/my5.cnf file...
I also changed all occurrences of /etc/my.cnf in mysql.server to /etc/my5.cnf

Whyen adding --port=3305 to the mysqld_safe command line in mysql.server script works fine...but it still doesnt use my /etc/my5.cnf file

Any idea why?

PS: I have one mysqld.sh for 4.1 and one mysqld5.sh for 5.0
Its the mysql.server script...
