moving database files from one server to another

[c0mputerking2]

should be as simple as doing a dump and restore but here is the catch i do not have any dumps. I need to move the databases as is, from the /var/lib/mysql directory.

The old server is completely dead all i have is the mysql data in the /var/lib/mysql folder how do i re-enter these databases into a running system.

just dump your database, its a very simple step and i'm sure you can do it.
you do not need to shut down your running system; just log in to your mysql-server and create new database, and then import from the dump-files....

heheheee
