How To Move a MySQL Data Directory to a New Location on Ubuntu 16.04

If you need to move your MySQL data directory to a new location on Ubuntu 16.04, you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Stop the MySQL service: sudo systemctl stop mysql
  2. Copy the existing data directory to the new location using the following command: sudo cp -R /var/lib/mysql /new/location
  3. Edit the MySQL configuration file using your preferred text editor (e.g., nano, vim): sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
  4. Find the line that specifies the datadir and change it to reflect the new location: datadir=/new/location/mysql
  5. Save and exit the file.
  6. Start the MySQL service: sudo systemctl start mysql
  7. Verify that the new location is being used by running the following command: sudo mysql -u root -p -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'datadir';"

That's it! Your MySQL data directory should now be located at the new location you specified.
