I use phpmyadmin v4.1.14 Apache version 2.4.9.
After my wamp
corrupt I copy the whole folder of wamp and install the new one with the same version.
I replace all the folder expect wampmanager.ini
which was corrupted, but after going to phpmyadmin, all databases don't show any data with error after click any table:
#1146 -Table XXXX doesn't exist
I try to read some answers here but not working.
wampmanager.ini
is re-created every time you start WAMPServer, and when you do a refresh
from the menu.
If wampmanager.ini
was really corrupted, then it is most likely that wampmanager.tpl
was actually corrupted, as that file is used by wampmanager.exe
to rebuild wampmanager.ini
However, it is rare for either file to get corrupted unless someone has been playing with the wampmanager.tpl
file. Always take a copy of wampmanager.tpl
if you are trying to change it, so you can get back to a working system by restoring your copy.
Restoring your backup
The simple way.
If all you think you need from the new install is the \wampmanager.tpl
and wampmanager.ini
then this is a simpler solution
On your new install of WAMPServer:
Using the wampmanager menus, do
(right click)wampmanager-> Apache-> Service->Remove service
(right click)wampmanager-> MYSQL-> Service-> Remove service
(left click) wampmanager-> exit
WAMPServer is basically uninstalled, but no files have been deleted
rename C:\wamp\ to C:\wamp_new
Now restore your backed up version of WAMPServer
copy c:\backup_wamp to C:\wamp
Now pick up the 2 files you think are corrupted from the new install and place them in the restored original WAMPServer
copy c:\wamp_new\wampmanager.tpl to c:\wamp\wampmanager.tpl
copy c:\wamp_new\wampmanager.ini to c:\wamp\wampmanager.ini
Start WAMPServer
Now re-register the Apache and MYSQL services
(right click)wampmanager-> Apache-> Service-> Install service
(right click)wampmanager-> MYSQL-> Service-> Install service
To make sure the SYMLINKS are correctly rebuilt do
(right click)wampmanager-> Apache-> Version-> 2.4.9 (click on the 2.4.9)
or whatever version you are using
Your old WAMPServer should now be reinstalled, but with the new versions of the wampmanager.ini
and wampmanager.tpl
If this does not work, you have not changed your original backup in any way, but you should be back where you were before installing the new WAMPServer, but having replaced the 2 files you think were corrupted.
If this does not come up with your old database intact, then you did not make a complete backup, and I am afraid your database may well be lost for ever.
If all works you can delete the C:\wamp_new
folder to avoid confusion later
