by Eric Messick. If my recovery has debian-5.6.flag and my fresh moodle on Ubuntu 14.10 has a debian-5.5 does this mean I should try and repair the DB on Ubuntu 15 running mysql 5.6?
I'm mulling through this...thanks again. A bit more info/clarity on what I recovered during the mess up going to Ubuntu 15.
In var/lib/mysql...
moodle folder with only .frm files and 1 .opt file
mysql folder
performance_schema folder
debian-5.6.flag
ib_logfile0
ib_logfile1
ibdata1
