I'm doing a similar backup and restore. But the old machine is a 2 year old toaster on cnt4.4. the new machine is fresh install with cnt5.1. I got everything to move over fine, except the mysql data base I think the old server has a different version of mysql. I'm experimenting with my sql dump and a restore. Does anyone have any advice as to the best way to move the database manually?
I can log in from both machines with mysql -u vpopmail -pqwerty vpopmail (the password is changed here for security) but when doing a show tables; I get no output on the new server. and the full list on the old one. Any advice on doing a manual mysql backup restore would be appreciated. Oh and thanks to everyone. I found so much useful information in the mailing list archive. I could never have never got this far with out it.
