Moving mysql var/lib/mysql to /home/mysql

Code:

cd /home
mkdir mysql
chown mysql:mysql mysql
cd mysql

perl -pi -e 's/mysqld=ON/mysqld=OFF/' /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status
/sbin/service mysqld stop

cp -Rp /var/lib/mysql/* .
cd /var/lib
mv mysql mysql_old
ln -s /home/mysql ./mysql

/sbin/service mysqld start
perl -pi -e 's/mysqld=OFF/mysqld=ON/' /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

#once satisfied that mysqld is ruing and functioning correctly, remove the old data:

rm -rf mysql_old
