Hi,

I have tried the following process in order to try and replicate a database
with InnoDB files:

1. created a new database in PHPMyAdmin
2. via command line, copied all the .frm files from the old database
directory into the new database directory
3. changed all the ownership and permissions
4. restarted mysql

The database is now recognised in PHPMyAdmin, but when I click on any of the
tables I get the message "cannot find [table].InnoDB". Originally, the
tables in the source database were MyISAM and then converted to InnoDB. I
tried renaming one of the [table].frm files to [table].InnoDB, but now this
does not show up on the table list.

I tried the described method as I have done this before with MyISAM tables
successfully.

What am I missing? Or is a completely invalid way to move the database?

Would a server restart fix it?

Thanks

Andy Hall.
