First you need to recover the database, and see if all is in order, before you can be certain of no data loss. To do that, don't only copy the "maqwiki" folder, but I would recommend the whole "/var/lib/mysql" (if that is your mysql data folder).
Your trick did not work, since I could not restart the mysql server after having copied the entire directory but when I copied the dir /var/lib/mysql/maqwiki *and* the ibfile1 _then_ I can connect to the db!!!!
