Re: MySQL Platform Migration

Ok let's drop this. Simply copying files to migrate a server is not the
approach to take (in my humble opinion).

First asses the situation, a platform migration? Get the same
release-version of mysql running on the target platform. Dump your mysql
database the with the excellent tool mysqldump which is shipped with mysql:
mysqldump -u root -p <pass> --all-databases > target.sql

Now import the databases: mysql -u root -p --execute="source
database_dump.sql" --force"

This will overwrite all databases including the mysql-table which contains
users. Make sure to run mysql_upgrade next to fix any inconsistancy's.
Restart mysql or flush privs > done.

Harrie
