Locate your MySQL installation files and central configuration file basedir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/" Your MySQL configuration is stored in "my.ini" file Locate your MySQL Database location: datadir="C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/ Application Data/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/" Stop MySQL service. Modify My.ini file to point to a new D/B location and Save. Move your Data directory to a new location Restart MySQL service. You are done. All pages (even if you were in the middle of the editing) continue to work. Amazing!
