WampServer

Hi,

Where to start...

I had some problems with filezilla and wampserver to host my website and after 18 hours of searching all around the internet I finally deleted Wamp to reinstall it...

BUT, being a complete newbie, I didn't backup my files and just moved the wordpress file elsewhere, believing it'd do the trick. Obviously it did not and when I tried to open Wordpress from the freshly reinstalled Wamp I was faced with a totally empty wordpress.

Now... I am lucky enough to not have deleted the old wamp files from my bin. The thing is, I used Unlocker to delete the old wamp since it didn't want me to deleted it manually, so now I have the old Wamp files back but in the messiest way possible (all files are basically not in their right folder)

But yes, I got everything back from the bin...

How can I recover everything and get my website back? Please be specific because I'm a total newbie as you can read...

Thanks a lot!

You had to back your data up before wiping your c:/wamp directory

Chloe,

This is just an impossible question.

Its now clear what you do have and what you dont, so the best you will get is guesses.

Thanks RiggsFolly.

One last question: I used a Wordpress theme. Is there a way I can see the text content (I mean, my copywriting) somewhere in the files?

Chloe,

If you still have access to your old wamp\bin\mysql\mysqlx.y.z\data folder you should be able to get the data back.

But it is not clear from your question exactly what you managed to save and what you deleted

Basically I deleted the entire WAMP folder (which I thought did not work) without saving up my data, installed a new WAMP and moved the www folder from the deleted WAMP to the new WAMP folder.

But as I said I did NOT empty my bin, so I was able to get ALL my files back. Now I have the old WAMP folder (with my data in it) and the new one (without my data)

The thing is that my database is scattered (there are files everywhere, not in their original folder) and I don't know which files were initially in C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.x.xx\data

Please understand that I have never coded in my life, I'm completely new to this.

Chloe,

I cannot help if I cannot buld an image in my mind of what you have actually done and what is where.

Any change you could install TeamViewer and let me have a look at what is actually left after what you did.

If so send me a Private Message with the teamViewer ID and PASSWORD so I can connect.

Dont put the ID and PASSWORD in a normal reply
