Install two different TANGO on same system

# 7 years ago
TCS_GMRT	Hi all, I want to install two different TANGO on the same system. Both TANGO should refer two different TANGO database. (eg, tango_1, tango_2 instead of tango). Is it possible to choose user defined database name while installing TANGO. Please provide your inputs on the same. Thanks and Regards, tgmrt Regards, TCS_GMRT

Reynald	When you compile the DatabaseDs from the Tango Source distribution, during the configure phase, you can specify the tango MySQL database name with –with-tango-db-name option. What you would need is to compile 2 versions of the Database server with 2 different configurations. Rosenberg's Law: Software is easy to make, except when you want it to do something new. Corollary: The only software that's worth making is software that does something new.

TCS_GMRT	Hi Reynald, Thank you for prompt response. As per your suggestion I will install two different TANGO on same system. Now when I want start tango using 'tango start' command. What is the behavior of the TANGO? Which tango database it will refer?? Regards, TCS_GMRT

Reynald	If you want to start 2 database servers on the same host, you will have to adapt the tango script. In this case, you should start the DataBaseds instances in a way so that they listen to requests on different ports (-ORBendPoint giop:tcp::10000 and -ORBendPoint giop:tcp::12345 for instance). Then you can use TANGO_HOST defined as <host_where_your_databaseds_is_running>:10000 or <host_where_your_databaseds_is_running>:12345 depending on which TANGO system you want to talk to.

TCS_GMRT	Hi Reynald, As per your suggestions I have installed two TANGO with two different databases 'tango' and 'tango_test'. During installation I have observed that tango binary was installed on /usr/local/bin path and while installation of second TANGO it overwrites the previous tango installation as installation path is by default /usr/local/bin. Could you suggest me if there is a provision to change the installation path for tango. Regards, TCS_GMRT

Reynald	Hi, All the available options are detailed in the README. You can use –prefix option during the configure phase to specify where the files will be installed, default being /usr/local.
