Re: [Exist-open] install 2nd copy of exist-db

I believe that you can change the install directory in the installer.
But it may be easier just to grab the full-fat version and do a build
in-place as your on a server. e.g. -

svn co http://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/exist/releases/eXist-1.4.1
cd eXist-1.4.1
./build.sh

Just make sure that you do a full backup exploded XML backup from your
old version, also you might want to copy across any conf.xml changes,
and any other modification to config that you made.
