Millertime1 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hello, I could really use a hand transferring my database off of an external hard drive onto a new drive after my os crashed. I'm running xampp with php 5.5 and my database is password protected so I need to be able to reset that too. Everything i have tried has not worked and now mysql can't be found so I have to do a new install. My database engine is innoDB. Sorry I'm new to programming and was running phpmyadmin so I don't quite understand getting shell commands to work since now mysql can't be found...

jazzman1 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If you are using a local server the easiest way is to mount the partiotion where your crashed OS and DB server were depolyed using an external live cd with linux copy and copy db binary files to the new drive or use a rescue cd. What's the name of crashed OS? Windows?

Millertime1 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks for the advice. I was actually able to get it to work after a fresh install of xampp so I must have corrupted mysql when I was messing around with a .ini file or shell. I'm doing all my development on the shared computer with the wife so I was running xampp on windows even though I'm running a dual boot computer...the wife hates linux so she always loads windows when she gets on so its a headache to restart it all the time.
