thanks for your kind help

 

Thank you so much, now its working.
I did copy the mysql database with this command:

Code:

rsync -avz --delete -e ssh /var/lib/mysql [email protected]:/var/lib/mysql

before i stopped all mysql.service on both servers.
after starting mysql.service again on the new server i get this error in the logs:

Code:

-- Unit mysql.service has begun starting up.

Jun 01 20:49:34 server4.cl-i.net mysqld[27023]: Initialization of mysqld failed: 0
Jun 01 20:49:34 server4.cl-i.net systemd[1]: mysql.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1

Why do i get this error of mysql ?
thanks a lot for your help

 

I just installed the server new and then i did copy the mysql database with mysql dump and it worked better.
