I have reinstalled a MySQL 5.0instance to the same location (OS Windows XP), and afterwards, databases stored in /data/ folder become invisible by MySQL. How I can to make it visible again ? All databases are MyISAM type.

  • If you had made no changes to the data directory and did not overwrite the mysql directory there, all your databases would be visible and accessible.

Have you tried changing the data directory setting in my.cnf to the location with all the data?

The variable you should be setting is datadir = /path/to/data/directory

You should probably restart the server once you have done that.
