Hey all,

I host my app on a friend server who make backup every night, well
yesterday he installed another distro so I asked him for my db backup
and it turns out the only backup he did was the whole hard drive. So
he just sent me a tarball of my database directory containing:
ads_categories.MYD,ads_categories.MYI,ads.frm,ads.MYD,ads.MYI,categories.frm,categories.MYD,categories.MYI,db.opt,regions.frm,regions.MYD,regions.MYI.

I tried to create a database called mydb on my computer (debian etch)
and just copied all the files to the place /var/lib/mysql/mydb/

then when I try to do a select * from categories, I get:

ERROR 1017 (HY000): Can't find file: './mydb/categories.frm' (errno: 13)

is there any way to get my db back?

thanx in advance

Pat
