Our system crashed and we're trying to recover our data. The disc is fine, but the OS is gone, so I'm trying to get at the actual MySQL database files.
Does anybody know where to look for them in a Debian Linux server?

Best Answer
MySQL stores DB files in
/var/lib/mysql
by default, but you can override this in the configuration file, typically called/etc/my.cnf
, although Debian calls it/etc/mysql/my.cnf
.
