Hi Chris, Looks like you may have to either upgrade your current server to the version the Arch Linux was running or install a second temp server of that version, export the databases and then import them into the ver 3.2 server.
Personally, I'd look closely at upgrading if at all possible.

I used to run mysql on a local server here, which has some databases which are very important to me on it. The server was running mysql on Arch Linux, but unfortunatly this crashed, I was not able to rebuild the operating system but I was able to recover the raw database files off of the hard disk. Is there a way of importing these to my MySQL 3.2 server? (I beleive that Arch Linux was running 5.0). I have tried simply placing them in the mysql database folder but I get errors such as "Incorrect information in file: './my0007/ee_pm.frm..." when I try and perform any operations in PhpMyAdmin. Any help would be appreciated as I do not want to have to rebuilt the databases from scratch/ Cheers Chris -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
