 Keep losing my WP website & MySQL problems (1 Replies, Read 9982 times)

I am not an experienced AMPSS/WordPress/MySQL user and I need help to understand the following behaviours (Windows 7):-

1)  Every now and then I am not able to start MySQL.  Is this likely to be because I have shutdown my laptop without shutting down AMPSS/Apache/MySQL first?

2)  Having done some online research I have found a way to get MySQL started by deleting the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\mysql\data.  These appear to be the log and error files and they get automatically recreated by MySQL next time it starts.  Is this approach a good idea?

3)  I have lost(?) the websites I created in Wordpress 3 times now.  I get an "Error establishing a database connection" message in the browser.  The wp config file looks OK, but it looks to me like the database may be empty because when I go into phpadmin and select the database for my website, it says at the top "No tables found in this database".  I did not know about backups so haven't taken any!  Is there anything else I can do?  Have I really lost my work?

Big question:-  Are these 3 things related?Has it all been caused by failing to shut down AMPSS/Apache/MySQL properly before shutting down my laptop.

Any advice to the newbie would be really appreciated.
