When mysql "had trouble starting up" what error messages did it give in
the .err file in the datadir?

I had to migrate from 4.0.11 to 4.1.12. I saved the data directory from the
older version. I also exported all the information using phpMyAdmin's export
tool. I have one huge .sql file.
When I upgraded to 4.1.12, I followed instructions to copy the contents of
the old data directory to the new one. This didn't work...MySQL had trouble
starting up.
So, I restored the new data folder, and ran the .sql file to recreate all
the table and to insert all the new records. This works fine.
What is the easiest way to upgrade and migrate the data? Did I do something
wrong by just copying the contents of the data directory? Should that method
work?
