Hi there,

We are developing web based applications for our clients. We have needed to upgrade the server so that we can run MySQL 4.x and MySQL 5 both on same server.

We need direction so that we can run MySQL 4.x and MySQL5 together on same server, so some sites would be work in MySQL 4.x and some of them will work in MySQL 5

Expecting support to achieve this.

Thanks !!

I don't think it can be done, I tried doing that on my local server so could compare, you need to edit the php.ini file to point to either one, and only way to switch was to edit the php.ini file each time

I think it should be possible to do this as long as you install them different locations on the HD and change the port number of one from the default 3306 to some else otherwise you will get a conflict. Apart from that I think it should be fine.
