1 - Where does mySQL normally store it's data base files? ***** From what I have seen, it depends on how you install it. You can check in the my.ini file and that will let you know where it is.
2 - Can you change the default directory for a data base? ***** Yes, you can change this in the my.ini file. 3 - How do you get Linux to search the entire disk for a file? ***** Do you have any type of shell over linux? They usually offer some sort of search. You might want to look at installing webmin, it makes it easy to control a lot of things on your linux bot via a web based control center. -----Original Message----- From: tmb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 7:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Where are db files ?? HELP ! I'm a newbie to both Linux & mySQL. I have a simple mySQL sample data base running on a Red Hat 7.3 machine. It was already setup when I got it. Now I want to find the data base files that mySQL creates so I can back them up... and for my education. I can't seem to get Linux to search the entire hard disk... and I'm really not sure of the data base file names... it comes up in a demo web page. 1 - Where does mySQL normally store it's data base files? 2 - Can you change the default directory for a data base? 3 - How do you get Linux to search the entire disk for a file?
