Just wasted about an hour mucking up mySQL
I've got a server running on Amazon EC2, and I wanted to move the databases off onto a separate Elastic Block Storage volume, which means it persists after a server shutdown (the server's local disks only persist if you've bundled the machine image and stored it in S3).
So no problem: I copied the existing databases across to the new locations (they're just directories), renamed the old ones to something else, created symbolic links to the new locations, and done
Unfortunately, using my remote admin tool, several of my databases then vanished
After googling around for ages, I finally realised that when I'd changed ownership of the new locations and their contents to the mysql user account, I'd done
Code:chown -r mysql:mysql dbname
Code:chown -R mysql:mysql dbname
All working again nowComment
