Re: Porting database from Windows to Solaris?

[S C]

Hi Lance,

Remove old mysql-bin.xxxxxx files and mysql-bin.index in the data directory of the solaris.

Create my.cnf accoring to your current my.ini.
Give only limited access to my.cnf as: chmod 500 my.cnf
Global write will give you error and mysql will ignore this file.

Make sure that you have the ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, ibdata1, your_current_database_folder, mysql copied to the mysql data directory.

Recursively change user to mysql for data directory.
Give right accesses to log files as: chmod 660
Give right access to the directories: chmod 755

Good luck!
