I just got a W2K-based server up and put the database on it. Now that machine's suddenly gone and I've been given a new Linux server with MySQL on it (okay, I'm happy about that part). But I only have a backup of the MySQL folder from the old machine. And I've been told I can't have the data folder in the same place as the program. With this, can I just drop appropriate files into the right place on the Linux machine and and point MySQL to the right place and have it take over the database?
