It sounds to me as if you have a similar problem in your environment although the fix in your case will be different.

I should have added what I was using to do the transfer. I am using phpmyadmin to do a dump to a gzipped file and then I am importing.

RE: Moving MySQL data from Windows 4.0.12 to Linux 4.0.18
I had a situation you are seeing, what I ended up doing was create the db's in the new mysql server, setup replication, do LOAD DATA FROM MASTER let that run for a bit (while the first server is not in production of course) then after it synched up, shut down them both, removed the replication information and it started to work again. I may have copied the tables' files over, but I do not recall (~1.5years ago) HTH Thanks, James -Original Message- From: Lehman, Jason (Registrar's Office) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 12:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Moving MySQL data from Windows 4.0.12 to Linux 4.0.18 I should have added what I was using to do the transfer.
