I'm pretty lost right now.
The RAID controller auf my server broke and all attached hard drives were corrupted. Luckily I copied the plain files off the server right before the crash (phew).
I set up the new server with Ubuntu 12.04 and a fresh mysql installation. I copied the backup off a server directly to the new one, without saving them to a windows machine (to prevent privileges errors).
My back up folder looks like this:
drwx------ 15 jensma jensma 4.0K Dec 12 18:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 76 jensma jensma 4.0K Nov 22 12:00 ..

A folder contains data like this:
drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 Aug 5 00:17 .
drwx------ 15 jensma jensma 4096 Dec 12 18:09 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 65 Jul 10 15:04 db.opt
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8620 Aug 1 23:38 stat.frm
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8700 Aug 5 00:17 user.frm
I just copied the whole content to /var/lib/mysql and ran
sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld –innodb_log_file_size=5242880 –innodb_force_recovery=6
Well, the command kinda works - the shell shows up after half a minute. But the database is still empty :/
I'm pretty now to this. I do have full admin access to the server.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Edit 1:
ls -la /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql/*
gives:
ls: cannot access /var/lib/mysql/*: No such file or directory
/var/lib/mysql:

Edit 2:
A little update:
The databases are created, but empty. The users are created and their priviliges are applied correctly to the databases. No content, tough :(
