But I thought I could just copy all the database files from one Linux-Box to another and use the exactly same databases, users and data. I mounted the dev-server via nfs (rw) as root and tried to copy the /var/mysql (cp -ar) most things went well, but several (not all) files from the mysql subdir could not be copied with a permission denied error. I shut mysql down with no difference. Is it possible to easily duplicate a MySQL-Installation from one Intel-Linux to another keeping all data and users the same? Thanks in advance for helping a newbie (probably this is to be considered OT, as I probably just was unable to just use Unix correctly :-( ) Jochen
