    Hi,

    While updating Xampp I lost a phpmyadmin database for one of my local WordPress installations. I still have all the files on my computer, is it possible to restore the database with the files alone? if not how best should I proceed without having to download a fresh installation?

    Thanks

    Sorry, but no. Your site’s content (and all settings) were in the database. You cannot restore the site without the database.

    I understand, thank you

    How about if I have a complete set of the /mysql/data directory? That is, what if I have a back up of all the MySQL tables?

    Can I restore from that? If so, how?
