WampServer

hello
i have done a format and new install of my windows. Now i will install wamp, if i make a new install they wont recognize my older databases
how can install wamp without losing my older installations?

install same wamp version, then just copy your old wamp folder to overwrite new wamp folder

I'm not sure this is totally correct?

I tried this once and it did not work.
I think that your pc has to be named exactly like it was for the old wamp for it to work?

I had a wamp installation on a pc that was named as sTimulated.
I also reformatted but did not name new pc.
Installed wamp,copied saved old wamp folder but it would not work.
I realised old wamp install pc was called sTimulated so named new pc as sTimulated and wamp began to work.

Can anyone confirm this?

no thats noty true,,, you shud have exported your databases. befoer you foramatted , you cannot move innodb databases like this


the file mysql.pid may contain the pc name but u cant just delete this and it will be remade..
