  Hey,
  
  I am making a PHP site which uses MySQL. I'm trying to make a development site on which I can do my work without altering the real database and website. I want to make 2 'roots' on one computer if that is possible. If anyone can help me do that, I would greatly appreicate it! Otherwise, I'd use another computer to set up another root, which would work, but I'd like to avoid it.
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  Dan

  Just create another user in the database with limited permissions.

  I am not quite sure that I understand! But users are created with the MySQL server(s), not with clients. I you want to run some client software (such as SQLyog) you can connct to as many MySQL servers as the ROOT-user on each respective server as you want.
  
  I believe you want to install and run a complete server-“lineup” like a webseerver, php and MySQL at a local machine for development. However, then I don't see the problem!
  
  I suggest that you explain more in detail …

  Dan, if I understand you correctly, you have a single machine on which you run a live website. You want to run a separate development website on the same machine?
  
  If that's the case, these links might point you in the right direction:

  You might have to set up the development site with a different port for MySQL.
  
  Hope that helps.
