running mysql instances in the same machine

[Geetha Thanu]

Hello all,

Can anybody help me out with this..

I have a linux machine and I have set up 2 databases
what we have as two mount points.
say
/db1
/db2
Now I like to run 2 instances of mysql so that data
directory of one instance pointing to /db1 and another
instance pointing to /db2.

should I have to install 2 times mysql and start 2
servers or install one mysql server and have
instances..
 
please help me how I can proceed 

thanks
Geetha
