title: Migrating MySQL databases from files only
body: <p>On a fresh install of MySQL on Mavericks (via Homebrew if that matters) how can I take database files from a back up and migrate them to /usr/local/var/mysql in the new instance? I have a directory for each database and one huge ibdata1 file.</p>
  
  <p>If I move them by a simple file transfer, start the new instance and log in, each database is there however no data is present when I check a table.</p>
