Hi, I was wondering if you could elaborate on your solution.
I think I made the same mistake as you- I didn't backup my databases with an SQL dump, but I do have the original database files and folders. I thought I could just move the database folders to the WampServer 2.0 data folder (""wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.51a\data"
and it would work- but while the database names would show up in the console and I could view the table names, I couldn't operate on them. For elaboration on this, you can see my original post here: [
forum.wampserver.com]
Also, I didn't know if the ibdata and iblogfiles needed to be transferred too- since the new data folder had it's own ibdata and iblogfiles.
I tried moving the original database folder to "wamp\mysql\data" as worked for you, but MYSQL isn't installed in that folder so it doesn't find the databases there.
Thanks for your time.
