I had installed my wampserver on Local Disk D. Yesterday because my machine was infected with virus I had to format it. Since I would format Local disk C and not D I did not see the need to backup my website and database as they would be available on D and once I needed the project I would just copy paste as I have been doing for sometime. After formatting, I copied the database from the previous wamp data folder D:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data\database_name to my new installation C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data\database_name. I did the same to my website i.e. from D:\wamp\www\website to C:\wamp\www\website. However, the project seems not to work as it was working on the previous installation. What am I missing or are there other files I need to copy?
If the old WAMPServer was installed on the D: drive and you did not format that drive, then you can just reinstall the Apache and MYSQL services from there.
I would remove the new install (uninstall) and then do this
Make a shortcut of D:\wamp\wampmanager.exe and and place it on your desktop.
Launch WAMPServer from this new shortcut.
Using the wampmanager menus do
left click wampmanager icon -> MYSQL -> Services -> Install Service
left click wampmanager icon -> Apache -> Services -> Install Service
WAMPServer should be back as it was originally.
If you are using WAMPServer 3 > the menu items names changed a little to
left click wampmanager icon -> MYSQL -> Service Administration -> Install Service
left click wampmanager icon -> Apache -> Service Administration -> Install Service
