hmmm, I think the file permissions are ok, but I'll check that out tonight (after work).
I'll have to check with the owner of the 2nd computer to see what version of MySQL he has.
What happened was that I created a webpage for this other person to put on his server. So, I populated the databases with the existing data he had on his old site. Now, I'm in the process of migrating the site to his computer/server. So, I gave him all the necessary files, including the database I used to store everything in. But, when he ran the database, trying to access a table resulted in an error. Namely, it said it was missing an "ibd" file. The only thing I could think of was that the "ib_data" file located in MySQL's data folder was responsible for this error. He already has this file on his computer, but I don't want to overwrite his file with my file. If there was a way to merge the two, or create a whole new "ib_data" file, that would be great, but I just don't know.
I also tried, on the off-chance that it might work, the "mysqldump" function, but that didn't really do anything as far as I know. I thought maybe it would create a separate back-up copy of the database that I could use to bring over to this other guys' server. But, no luck.
By the way, thanks for the help aardvark29. Much appreciated.
If there are any other ideas out there, they are all welcome
Thanks again,
