title: How to restore mysql database in XAMPP?
body: <p>I have a backup of the entire <code>xampp/mysql</code> folder. How can I use it to recover my old db on a fresh installation of XAMPP? </p>
  
  <p>Simply copying the old <code>xampp/mysql</code> folder to new xampp leads to mysql errors like:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>InnoDB: Table veno/sls37_finder_links_termsc in the InnoDB data
    dictionary has tablespace id 1171, but tablespace with that id or name
    does not exist. Have you deleted or moved .ibd files? This may also be
    a table created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE whose .ibd and .frm files
    MySQL automatically removed, but the table still exists in the InnoDB
    internal data dictionary.</p>
