My Setup

I’m another step closer to my dream workstation setup. We have here a Beats™ Studio and a wired cdr-king keyboard with built-in touchpad.

Multiple MySQL Instances

I have seen a lot of versions of this in the web but I decided to create my own copy for ease of setup and simplicity.

First, download the file “mysql55rev.rar” as seen in this post then extract it somewhere in your harddrive.

Follow these steps:

note: extract-dir is the location which you extracted the archive
edit [extract-dir]\my.ini to match your prefernces

net start mysql3307

Credentials needed to access the database are included in the archive.
