Hi all,
is it possible to install mysql with an existing database?
I had a mysql db running on a nas4free full installation. Now I have migrated to nas4free embedded.
So I have to install mysql again, but I want to use the old database.
Do you have any tipps about this?
Should I install mysql on the system itself or install it in a jail?
Whats the best practice in this case?
Cheers,
himbrr

Re: Reinitialize mysql with existing database
i would just dump the database using mysqldump and reimport it on the new system
Nas4Free 11.1.0.4.4517. Supermicro X10SLL-F, 16gb ECC, i3 4130, IBM M1015 with IT firmware. 4x 3tb WD Red, 4x 2TB Samsung F4, both GEOM AES 256 encrypted.

Re: Reinitialize mysql with existing database
The old system isn't running anymore, so I can't backup the databases from mysql directly.
I still have the database folder from mysql, but I can't get mysql running on nas4free embedded...

Re: Reinitialize mysql with existing database
install Finch, create a jail, and type "pkg install mysql-server". That will give you mysql.himbrr wrote:but I can't get mysql running on nas4free embedded...
Not so sure how you are going to import / export your 'mysql folder'. Ask elsewhere.
