Hi Jon,
What version of MySQL are you using (5.7.?) If using the latest MySQL or MariaDB server, you'll have better performance and features. At 5.7.x, you've already got full-text searching in innodb tables.
As Jan Steinman pointed out, in general, always dump your data using mysqldump (as opposed to making backups by directly copying files in the data directory).
You should load your database dumps into a clean server environment. That means an empty data directory. If you've got sufficient backups (test them to make sure they are!), then you can rm -rf $my_data_dir/ But it's just as easy to setup a different path e.g. /var/lib/data_dir_new and configure that when starting a second MySQL instance. https://www.linux.com/learn/howto-reconfigure-mysql-use-innodbfilepertable-z... is an article that might give you a little perspective on running multiple instances of MySQL In short, just like Apache can listen on multiple ports besides just port 80; and can have multiple websites, each with their own document root, so too can MySQL run multiple servers simultaneously, on different ports, with different data directories and databases configured per server.
From the error messages, it looks like you restored the dump files into the
same MySQL server with pre-existing logs or binlogs. You may need to change the configuration of my.cnf to force recovery in that environment if that's all you've got. See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html I'm guessing that you might need to set it as high as 5 in order to be able to start the server and get new dumps. But you might not need this at all if you have dumps of all the existing databases and just use those to restore them to a _new_ server. You can re-use the same machine, just create a different environment for trying the restoration.

"He" (me, "the OP") did that following some - maybe bad - advice found in another place. But I haven't used mediawiki for a while – so I do have backups from 2017-08-31 that should be okay. So what are your suggestions from here? Just copy (not move) it back an try if i works? Or there might be more clever approaches?
Best regards, Jon Theil Nielsen

Dear List Users,
I have mediawiki 1.29-Release running on FreeBSD-11.1-Release and have
had
a crash of my MySQL database. At first, I couldn't start it at all.
But
after deleting ib_logfile* and ibdata*, it came back alive. In the
sense
that I can start the server and use many of the databases. But not the
one
holding my mediawiki installation.
The error log says "[Warning] InnoDB: InnoDB: Cannot open table
mediawiki_something_dk/user
from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.." The debug log is quite full but has the message "Error: 1146 Table 'mediawiki_something_dk.l10n_cache' doesn't exist (localhost)"
Does anyone know how to solve this? Or maybe have somehere, I can look
for
a solution.
I'm not sure what sort of solution you're looking for. You deleted the InnoDB data file (ibdata*), and now it unsurprisingly says the InnoDB data file is gone. That file had your wiki in it, now it's gone.
If you have backups, we can talk about how to recover from them. Otherwise, DROP DATABASE mediawiki_something_dk; might possibly wipe those .frm files and put the database back into a consistent (empty) state. Not sure, I've never heard of anyone deleting ibdata file before. If it does work, then you can make a new empty wiki, if that is a useful thing for you.

It's a bit late for that, he's literally deleted his entire wiki.
