title: How to restore MYSQL database after installing a different version of WAMP?
body: <p>I would like to know How to restore MYSQL database after installing a different version of Wampserver. The explanation is as below:</p>
  
  <p>I deleted the wampserver folder accidentally and I lost my MYSQL database. However, I have succeeded to restore the data folder that contains the database and I have installed another version of Wampserver (Actually, the old version of MYSQL that I was using was <strong>5.5.8</strong> , and the MYSQL version that I am using right now is <strong>5.6.17</strong>) and I have tried to restore the database by copying its folder and putting it and the old ibdata1 file under the data folder of the new installation. But, unfortenately, that doesn't work. </p>
  
  <p>So, my questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it possible to restore MYSQL database after installing a different version of Wampserver (with a different version of MYSQL)?</li>
  <li>If yes, how can I do that? What would be the solution?</li>
  </ol>
