Setup multiple mysql services on a single server

[ Thanks to Sushila for this link. ]

"Here, I’ve downloaded MySQL 5.1.41 server tarball. Please note that one MySQL was already there on server having differnt version (ver 5.0.77). For second installation, I’ve downloaded different version to test out things but for best compatibility, its recommended to download same version.

"3. Create new sandbox for single MySQL server. Pls note that you should run following command from a non-root user. Though, in my case, I went ahead and wanted to run command by root user and for that, we must set an environment variable to > 0 value."
