Is there a way to move the data dir -- and anything else

You probably don't want to do this but rather export the data and
reimport the data.
I would if I could. But it becomes a little more difficult if we
can't access the data. Are there tools that can successfully
import the data from the individual dbs (or the whole folder, but
alas I'm dreaming here...)? Does CocoaMySQL or the latest builds
of phpmyadmin have such capabilities? I walked into this problem
rather blind, not being a mySQL expert nor expecting the previous
admin to have thought it beneficial to install other distro builds
to be a point version further along than Apple. It has, naturally,
fluxed things nicely across several VH websites using a variety of
solutions tied into these dbs.
OK, I'll reiterate the process since you seemed to have ignored it
the first time I mentioned it.
stop Apple's 10.4.x mysql.
start the mysql-standard-4.1.11-apple-darwin7.8.0-powerpc mysql.
dump all the databases.
stop the mysql-standard-4.1.11-apple-darwin7.8.0-powerpc mysql.
start Apple's 10.4.x mysql.
restore all the databases.
Failing that, hire someone to do it and show them these instructions.
So if we have found the original data, beyond the data folder, are
there other files that can/should be archieved? Separate index or
preference/settings files? I'm saving/archiving everything I can
in its natural state, but don't know what is overkill.
