***BOGO*** multiple mysql service on the same server

["Ananda Kumar" <anandkl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I am asking a very simple question.

I need to install two mysql service (instances) on the same server.
I know we can do that using different port, but should i use two different
my.cnf files, and also, what is the procedure to stop one mysql service and
keep other one running.

regards
anandkl
