I have a DB. Had RedHat 9.0. Went to Ubuntu (I love it). I've been setting everything back up. Before wiping the drive, I copied my entire DB folder (had mysql folder and my db folder). I thought that was sufficient to back it up. Upon installing Ubuntu, I apparently have a newer version of MySQL.

I usually use phpmyadmin to manage the db. It's going crazy with errors not being able to find tables (mainly .frm files).

I think I made a serious mistake. Was I supposed to use some kind of export command before making it portable? Is there any way of even getting my tables into a normal view? At this point, I don't even mind manually entering everything as long as I can get it viewed!

I guess what I'm asking... Am I screwed??????
