I've been using a preconfigured package (Apache, PHP, MySQL) from Apache Friends/XAMPP for several months. About a week ago, my computer crashed, and I'm now getting back on my feet. I downloaded the latest XAMPP, which features upgrades for PHP, phpMyAdmin and I think MySQL, too.
Everything seems to be working fine, and I'm ready to retrieve my database, which contains over 100 tables. I copied the original XAMPP, with all my databases into an external hard drive. I can see my databases at the following location: MySQL > data > my_database But before I do anything stupid, I'd like to ask what's the correct way to proceed? I assume I can simply copy the folder my_database and paste it into MySQL > data > on my new XAMPP setup, right? Will the usernames and passwords be installed with it, or will I have to recreate them? Or is it better to go into my current XAMPP/MySQL, create a database with the same name and assign it the proper passwords, then paste my tables inside it? I assume either method will work, but I just want to make sure. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
