Thanks in advance!

Dump database into sql file.

Move entire EQEmu folder over from old drive to new drive.

Install Perl version that matches the other drive's compile entirely.
Install any MySQL version.

Create + Source Database.

Change eqemu_config.xml to use the new database name, username, password, and hostname.

Start World + eqlaunch (or zone) and any other related programs.

Done.

Secrets,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not very handy with mysql command prompt.

Does this look correct? I found this via google and could not get it to work.

mysqldump -h localhost -u [MySQL user, e.g. root] -p[database password] -c --add-drop-table --add-locks --all --quick --lock-tables [name of the database] > sqldump.sql

Thanks a bunch.
