Chnaging servers

[xxpeglegxx]

I need to move my server to a new location, I want to move all my server files to another computer I have while I make the switch, any one know how I could move all my mysql files to my other computer easily? my main server is a mac G5 I want to put the files temporary to my g4.

Thanks

This question is probably better asked in either the Unix forum [webmasterworld.com], or by using your search engine of choice. That said, copying mysql files is straightforward; shut down mysqld and copy the datafiles it creates to the new server. The location of the files will vary from installation to installation; on linux (assuming mysqld was installed from the RedHat RPMs), the datafiles will be in /var/lib/mysql/. I think. =)
