I was creating a website on localhost (WAMP 2.5 + Joomla 3.6) for several months and got that stupid idea to update WAMP from 2.5 to 3.0.6. I downloaded and ran the installation and read "Do not install Wampserver OVER an existing version". OK, so I canceled the installation, uninstalled the old WAMP and copied remaining folders under c:\wamp elsewhere as a backup. At this time, I already had a bad feeling that something might not work, so I better installed WAMP 2.5 in the same folder again. However, the attempt to access the web only generates this:
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Table 'joomla.#__session' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT `session_id` FROM `#__session` WHERE `session_id` = 'r4j9do38jv2jq2pi3s0nel5840' LIMIT 1
When I run phpMyAdmin, I see the joomla database at the left side, and after clicking at the + sign I see all joomla tables. However, when I click on any of the tables, I get a message like #1146 - Table 'joomla.hh1i3_users' doesn't exist.
Please, does anyone know how to get my website back to the previous state?
- Windows 8 64b
- WampServer 2.5 32b
- Apache, PHP and MySQL versions - out of the WAMP box
- WampServer icon is green
