Missing database on reset?

[interloperux]

Hi,

I recently revisited a website I was designing last year but ran low on time to finish. I couldn't remember the password for phpMyAdmin so I poked around in my XAMPP directory and found resetroot.bat -- now I can access phpMyAdmin, but my database isn't listed. I'm presuming it's still in existence because restarting XAMPP didn't suddenly break everything. Clearly I should have googled a little harder before running some random reset script. Could anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks.

Hi,

I net you are not running as root but as anonymous user or accessing a wrong MySQL installation.
To prove that open phpmyadmin go to your SQL tag and type in the following command

Code: Select all

SELECT CURRENT_USER

To prove you are running the correct MySQL use this SQL

Code: Select all

SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_Name = "basedir"

best wishes,
