I am trying to create multiple instances of MySQL 5.7 in the same Ubuntu 16.10 32-bit box. I have copied the original data dir to the new one. Created separate log folder for the new instance(the logs are working). Changed the owner to mysql:mysql for the new data dir /var/lib/mysql2 and log dir /var/log/mysql2/. I have removed app-armor. /var/run/mysqld/ is owned by mysql:mysql. I have posted this Question only after going through the other SE answers...none of which address the multiple instance issue.

Here is my my2.cnf:

[mysqld]
#
# * Basic Settings
#
user            = mysql
pid-file        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld2.pid
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld2.sock
port            = 3307
basedir         = /usr
datadir         = /var/lib/mysql2
tmpdir          = /tmp
lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql
skip-external-locking
#
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address            = 127.0.0.1
#
# * Fine Tuning
#
key_buffer_size         = 16M
max_allowed_packet      = 16M
thread_stack            = 192K
thread_cache_size       = 8
# This replaces the startup script and checks MyISAM tables if needed
# the first time they are touched
myisam-recover-options  = BACKUP
#max_connections        = 100
#table_open_cache       = 64
#thread_concurrency     = 10
#
# * Query Cache Configuration
#
query_cache_limit       = 1M
query_cache_size        = 16M

[mysqld_safe]
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld2.sock
nice            = 0

As you can see I have changed the port to 3307 and others respectively. Now when I run (have to add the sudo to mysqld):

sudo mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my2.cnf &

I receive:

  • Can you verify if selinux is disabled or set to permissive?

Solved...all I had to do was to change all occurrences of /var/run/mysqld/mysqld2.sock to /tmp/mysqld2.sock. HTH someone with a similar issue.
