Where do the MySQL database files reside for WAMP?
database, file, mysql
Solution
Usually in the `/mysql/data` directory of your WAMP installation. You'll recognize the location because every database has a folder with the same name there.
You can change the location of the data directory using the `datadir` setting in `my.cnf`. It is often moved elsewhere to ensure the data there gets backed up regularly.
Problem
I'm just curious as I am beginning to learn PHP and MySQL, as to where the database and other files of MySQL reside on the hard drive. I have installed WAMP on a Windows XP SP2 platform.
