[CentOS] Mysql databases from old system?

[Marios Zindilis]

MySQL is usually confined in /var/lib/mysql, so if you move the /etc/my.cnf
and the /var/lib/mysql from the old server to the new one, you should be
able to start the server normally, otherwise you should get some useful
errors.

A typical error in such case is MySQL files ownership/permissions.
