    Hi
    Here is what i try.
    I would like to separate databases use for ISPConfig3 (and webamil, etc) from database create by clients.
    So, I would like to create two instance of MySQL server with different ports (port 3306 for client instance and port for 23306 for ISPConfig3 instance).
    Any hint?

    Instead of running two mysql-instances on the same server, i would setup a 2nd server for db-only.

    Yes, better a second server. But for now, I have only one.
    The question is more related to have distinct instance to drive ISPConfig related stuff and separate from clients database. If i understand correctly, the second server (or any other server) need mysql for ISPConfig too even if it's a slave. So same problem that clients database are serve on same port that ISPConfig database? If there are a security issue on mysql server, that's will compromise all system no??

    If _you_ would like to move some databases to a 2nd instance / server, then you must of course change the configs. I don´t know why you would split the sql-server for ispconfig, webmail, client-databases.

    Sorry for dummy question...
    Is there a risk, say for example, that a client database can crash the server instance ?
    I'm little paranoiac for sure but I don't like idea that whole server config is on same sql server than others non relate database!
    Another example, if a database-driven site use too much resource how this impact in the management part ?

    Every mysql-user is limited to it´s own databases. There is no security-risk running all databases on the same sql-server.

    I read furthermore on double instance... Security is a plus... Maintenance is a minus... My heart is between...

    I don´t think, that you need a 2nd myslq-instance for security.
