Cannot add second mysql server

[fabrizioi]

Hi All,

For one of my dedicated server I have the follwoing scenario:

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 X64
Plesk 11.5.30 Update #48

Plesk Panel - Tools and Settings -> Database Server -> Add Database Server
Type: MySql - host: localhost - Port 3307

Actual Result: error unable to connect to host

Expected result: New instance and service of MySql Server

Port 3307 is no firewalled and I have added a rule to allow connection on 3307

Where I'm wrong ?
I believe this could be a bug

Any help are welcome

Bye

Fabrizio

Your MySQL server is really configured for connections to non-standard 3307 port? Have you tried connect to this server with help of CLI command? Was it successful?

Hi IgorG,

Thanks for the reply.

The server is up and running and the mysql server on port 3306 works perfectly.

I have found the solution, reading the hellp.

The fact is that:
Plesk Panel - Tools and Settings -> Database Server -> Add Database Server, like explain in the help only add existing database server.
So I have download a newer version of MySqlServer (5.5.x X64).
Installed and configured on port 3307 with different instance (service) name.

After that I'm returned to:
Plesk Panel - Tools and Settings -> Database Server -> Add Database Server

Now adding credentials to the new instance let me manage the instance from phpmyadmin, and view the instance in the panel.

I believe this tools was made for that, not for add new instance

Please corret me if this is not correct

Thanks for the help

Bye
