I was using the MAMP program to host my database locally on my laptop. I had a problem so I had to reinstall the MAMP software. Before I did that though, I copied my entire MAMP folder from my C drive to my desktop. Now that I have MAMP installed, I opened the startpage and then went to phpMyAdmin.
I want to know how I can restore my database? When I opened phpMyAdmin after reinstallation, I could see the database and the name of the tables. But when I click on the tables, it says the table doesn't exist. When I tried importing the table, there was an error and it didn't work. Here is a screenshot of the error:
The copied database is in this location: C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\MAMP\db\mysql\DatabaseName
. In the DatabaseName
folder, there are the 3 tables which I had which have the .frm
file extension. and then 1 file called db.opt
. How can I restore the tables to my database?
Thanks in advance
Here is a solution. It works very well.
You just need to copy the ib_LogFiles
and the ibData
file and it should all be fixed!
