Hi,
I installed Linux Mint in place of Windows and I want to migrate xampp DBs from windows to linux.
I have already migrate htdocs directory (setting user permissions) but I am not able to make the same thing with dbs.
I copied /windows/xampp/mysql/data/* to /opt/lampp/var/mysql.
I can see all DBS via phpmyadmin but If I click on them, they are empty, without any table.

Possibly missing file permissions, the files in the data folder must have certain permissions in order to be accepted by MySQL.

Hi,
I just read your answer. So, How can I set correct permissions? I only have the backup data without any access to windows

You dont need Windows, you have to grant file permissions in the Linux file system (read about "chmod").
