WampServer

Acting dum, I installed a new release of wampserver over an existing one (same folder and everything) and didn't even bother to backup my sql tables. Now it won't run, with this error:
"The configuration file contains a syntax error on line 1235:
[EParseError] Parameter "Service" specifies an unknown service"

I need help please!!
Previous version: 2.4, new version: 2.5.

yea pretty dumb.

Basically what I suggest is read this document, it is what you should have read before doing the new install

Installing a new release of WAMPServer

Basically uninstall the wampapache and wampmysql services using these commands if you cannot do it using wampmanager :-

sc delete wampapache
sc delete wampmysqld

Then follow the concept in the document.

You should be able to copy forward your previous \wamp\bin\mysql\mysqlx.y.z\data folder and then switch to that version of MySQL and dunp the databases, then switch to the new MySQL and import them.
