Restoring mysql databases manually

Roosta21 · 09-25-2006, 08:25 AM

Hi have recently had to upgrade my sever from redhat9.3 to fedora core 4.0. Generally to back up a site I would sql dump the data base and ftp the site.. then rebuild latter..

but I didn't do it for one of the sites although I did ftp all the domains and all the mysql folders with the *.frm, *MYD .MYI.

could anyone shed some light on how I would reconnect the database to the site.. (i've tried just ftp the myqsl back to it previous location)

This would be a place to start. Especially the top and bottom of the article.
