Hi,
How can i install multiple instances of Infobright (using rmp file) on the same machine?

Thanks.

Hi

You can not install multiple instances using Infobright rpm. However it is possible to run multiple instances.

- Install infobright using rpm
- copy /etc/my-ib.cnf to /etc/my-ib2.cnf
- copy /usr/local/infobright/data to /usr/local/infobright/data2
- copy /usr/local/infobright/cache to /usr/local/infobright/cache2
- Change datadir in /etc/my-ib2.cnf by to /usr/local/infobright/data2
- Change cacedir in /usr/local/infobright/data2/brighthouse.ini to /usr/local/infobright/cachedir2
- Change socket, port inside /etc/my-ib2.cnf

Now run /usr/local/infobright/mysqld—defaults-file=/etc/my-ib2.cnf -umysql
Run /usr/bin/mysql-ib—defaults-file=/etc/my-ib2.cnf -uroot

You have to make sure there is not conflict in paths, socket, port etc.

Hi,
Thanks for the info.

However, if its not possible to install multiple instances, then how it is possible to use multiple instances ?
Does ICE allow the installation to proceed in the presence of already installed instance ?

Thanks.

I meant that you can install only one version (e.g 3.4.2) but it is possible to run multiple instances of it providing that every instance has different config file.

It will do upgrade if existing version is older.

The procedure is documented here.  It can also be found in this blog.
