Solved
Joomla / MySQL
Posted on 2012-12-24
I have installed Joomla on my win 7 PC. I installed XAMPP first (to emulate Apache, MySQL, etc.) on my PC. Getting things to work was a nightmare; see my prior questions on this.
I ran Joomla & it worked; both the front end & the admin site.
Since then I have had to reboot my PC. Now nothing works. The Joomla database is missing from MySQL, phpmyadmin has the pink message at the bottom, etc. See attached.
How do I get back to where I was? Or do I have to re-install Joomla all over, etc.

To Joomla_php,
No the database is called joomladb. I can reinstall joomla if that's necessary, I just don't want to have to do that every time after I reboot.
There is a whole bunch of stuff that was in phpmyadmin that is now gone too. Do I have to reinstall XAMPP too?
Right now I am just trying to learn from "Joomla for Dummies" (which I'm not too impressed with, other Dummies books I have found are usually good). Can you recommend a better learning text?
Thanks

The fact that that happened goes way beyond anything to do with Joomla. Nothing should get deleted on a reboot. There is something very wrong, such as maybe a virus.
