Port a windows server, to a linux server.
 

Is there a way to take an already existing, working, modified EQ server running on Win2k8 and port it onto Linux?

I have a theory, that, taking the given source version I compiled on, and the actual database in a mysql dump, i'd have to compile on the linux machine at the same revision, and source in the server database, not sure if this is correct.


(minus all the forwarding of ports and such which isn't hard.)

mysqldump and copy the .myd, .myi and .frm files to target machine's appropriate directory of the corresponding database

Is that what you're looking for?

Hmm.. I really need to start quoting. Edits after replies posted aren't marked? Bleh, at any rate.

I wouldn't think you'd need to copy the actual tables, a mysqldump and restore should work fine. If you end up compiling a newer version of the source that's fine too as long as you apply any required updates newer than the last source to keep the database up to date.
