Reassociate Table with Database

[ShoeLace1291]

I recently had to reinstall my WAMP server. So to back up my stuff, I first copied my www folder. Then, I stupidly copied the actual database files from wamp/bin/mysql/data/databasename instead of just creating an sql file with phpmyadmin. When I go to the database in phpmyadmin, it doesn't show any tables, but all of the .fm files are there in the appropriate folders. Is there a way to tell phpmyadmin or mysql or whatever that these files need to be associated with their databases?

Executing the below query, what does that give you:

 

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'datadir';

 

Did you copy the files before you started MySQL?
