I've tried mysqldump, it worked perfectly, my data is now on the new machine.
I did have to alter the output file so the tables in the mysql database where
recreated without error.
(eg adding "drop table columns_priv; before the CREATE TABLE columns_priv;
line)
What I want to know now is why didn't just moving the /var/lib/mysql/
databases work ?
I was given to understand if I wanted to exactly duplicate all the databases
on a machine I could just tar them & move them ?
Is this not the case ?
With Thanks
Steve
