How to restore database from /var/lib/mysql

I have a database folder from a crashed server called gain_wordpress. I'm trying to put that database on a new server but I'm not able to do it successfully. I don't have a .sql dump, all I have is the database folder from a past crashed server with ibdata and the 2 log files. I copied the gain_wordpress folder to /var/lib/mysql on the new server but when I do a > show tables on the database I get the following error: ERROR 1018 (HY000): Can't read dir of './gain_wordpress/' (errno: 13) I also changed the permission of the folder and did a chown mysql:mysql gain_wordpress -R and it still didn't take care of the problem. What is the best way to recover gain_wordpress. Do I need to replace any of the ibdata or the logfiles? What is the best way? I have the corresponding .frm, .MYD and .MYI files for each table. Please advise.
