Hi, I'm relatively new to mySQL when it comes to restores. I had a mysql database running on and Ubuntu server, and suddenly the disk failed, to the point where it's only in read-only mode. I can't get mySQL running on the box.
The SA put a new server, with a different Linux distribution (CentOS), and installed mySQL on there. We have no backup of the mysql that runs on the Ubuntu box. So I tried doing a mysqldump and mysqlhostcopy, and did not work. For some reason the .sock file can not be located now. So the SA copied the data directory (RConfig is name of db and directory) to the CentOS server. Is there a way I can get the CentOS mysql instance to read that RConfig db? If so, how would I do it? Thanks for any help.
