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
