boRg,

I'd like to migrate my installation of Web Wiz from one server to another, they're both Windows 2003 and both running MySQL. The only difference is that MySQL is 4.x on the current box and 5.x on the new one.

Copying across the pages is easy, but the database is giving me a headache. My usual MySQL tool imports the tables and schema, but none of the data within. I could try simply copying across the database folder (stopping the service first) but do you think that'll work? I can add the user account and permissions manually.

Thanks.
