Re: Mysql server issues

Glad to hear you were able to resolve your original issue.

As per your other question...
MySQL Installer doesn't allow two instances of MySQL Server within the same series (e.g. two 8.0 installations, two 5.7 installations, etc.) to be installed, however this can be done by using the no-install zip. Instructions can be found here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/windows-install-archive.html

When creating the options file mentioned in the referenced link, and if you have TCP/IP protocol enabled, ensure that you use a different port, this will allow more than one MySQL Server instance to run on the same machine since they will be accessed through different ports.
