Cardale Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I need to restore some database files so I can use them. I don't mean a backup from mysql I mean the actual database files (using ubuntu) in var/lib/mysql/dbname anyone know how to do this?

Cardale Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 They are showing up as empty databases. Maybe permissions are wrong? What should they be.

rajivgonsalves Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yes you'll have to change the permissions also the ownership to mysql:mysql see the other databases in the file system your listing starting should look like this -rw-r----- mysql mysql thats 640 I think if I am right, but make sure the owner is mysql (chown mysql:mysql *) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/183923-restore-database-from-actual-db-files/#findComment-970933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajivgonsalves Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 you might want to restart your mysql deamon, also check the privileges for the table just copying them over might have damaged some of the information I'm not sure about this its been a long time since I have tried this out.
