I believe you should be able to create a database with the same name, then copy the files from var/dbName on the old server to the same location on the new server. Failing this use mysqldump to dump the entire db to a file, then use mysql -p someDb < dumpfile.sql to enter all the values again.
Originally posted by RKris Hey, can you explain that to me clearly?
I assume you're talking about the mysqldump yeah? You can dump all your databases (this will include the mysql db) out to a text file using
Code:
mysqldump -u root -p -a -e > dbContents.sql
The dbContents.sql file will contain every create and insert statement necessary to rebuild the db from scratch. You then go to your new db server and run
Code:
mysql -u root -p < dbContents.sql
to import all the data. You'll need to restart the server after the import, or run "flush privileges" so the privileges take ffect.
