I was running a mySQL server under slackware for a while, it was
interacting with php on an apache webserver, and everything worked fine.
There were a few times where I would mess linux up and need to re-install,
in which case I would move my database files to my windows partition,
re-install linux, move the database files back (database files being
everything in /var/lib/mysql) and everythign worked fine. I just decided
to change to Debian, and followed the same procedure. After moving my
database files back to the /var/lib/mysql directory, and running mysql, if
I try to do anything with my tables, i would get the message "dbfile.ISM"
is missing. When I looked in my directory, all the files were of the
format dbFile.MYD, dbFile.MYI and dbFile.frm. As far as I know, the files
have always been of these extensions (instead of .ISM, .ISD and .frm). If
they have not, I have no idea how they changed. Does anyone know how to
get mySql (version Ver 9.38 Distrib 3.22.32, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) ) to
either recognize my current files as valid, or how to get the data in
those files into something that mySQL will recognize. Thank you very much.
There is alot of important info in those tables, and I really need them.
