We run php8 on a windows server.
Per default (as I read in different articles by now) the 5 time_zone tables in the mysql DB are empty.
So I got the .frm .myd .myi files from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/timezones.html
Then I overwrote the files in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data\mysql
I clearly see in win explorer they have some data in it.
Next I restarted the mysql DB but for some reason the tables remain empty when exploring them in phpmyadmin??
Does anybody has a clue why they don't have the data??
the step by step articles I followed:
