I am using XAMPP on a pc atwork to host a database   I exported a backup   bintra sql   using phpmybackuppro   I use xampp on a mac at home  and when I try to import the sql file located on my desktop  I get this error   No data was received to import  Either no file name was submitted  or the file size exceeded the maximum size permitted by your PHP configuration  See FAQ 1 16    Now  the file size of bintra sql is 922kb  The max size allowed indicated on the phpmyadmin screen is 3 072KiB  so I don t think it is the size that is preventing the import    I m using phpmyadmin v2 11 7   Does anyone have any ideas why no data is being received to import   Comment Responses   These are my upload settings from php ini    Whether to allow HTTP file uploads  file uploads   On  Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files  will use system default if not specified      upload tmp dir    Maximum allowed size for uploaded files    upload max filesize   3M  Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept  post max size   8M   EDIT   Tried using Mamp instead   Works fine with the same sql file   I don t know why

I never succeeded importing dumb files using phpmyadmin or phpMyBackupPro better is to go to console or command line ( whatever it's called in mac ) and do the following:

mysql -u username -p databasename

replace username with the username you use to connect to mysql, then it will ask you to enter the password for that username, and that's it

you can import any size of dumb using this method

if none of the above solutions worked for you   in my case phpmyadmin was using a deferent configuration file php ini   to know what config file used by phpmyadmin     go  usr share phpmyadmin then edit index php file and make it start with this   lt  php phpinfo    die             now when you visit localhost phpmyadmin you can search for php ini   you can tell where the config file is   in my case it was  etc php 7 3 apache2 php ini  now you need to update upload max filesize and post max size and you may need to change upload tmp dir   save your changes and then run sudo service apache2 restart  now everything should be OK

I had the same problem on Windows  Turns out it was caused by the temporary directory PHP uses for uploads  By default this is C  Windows Temp  which is not writable for PHP   In php ini  add   upload tmp dir   C  inetpub temp   Make sure to remove any other upload tmp dir settings  Set permissions on C  inetpub temp so IUSR and IIS IUSRS have write permission  Restart the web server and you should be fine

Kind of cheating I guess   but you can also zip the sql file and then import it  I ve had that issue in the past when I was working with forum software and was always a simple fix

No data was received to import  Either no file name was submitted  or the file size exceeded the maximum size permitted by your PHP configuration  See FAQ 1 16  These are my upload settings from php ini upload tmp dir    quot D  xampp xampp tmp quot           set these for temp file storing    Maximum allowed size for uploaded files    http   php net upload-max-filesize upload max filesize   10M       change it according to max file upload size  I am sure your problem will be short out using this instructions   upload tmp dir    quot D  xampp xampp tmp quot   Here you can set any directory that can hold temp file  I have installed in D  drive xampp so I set it   quot D  xampp xampp tmp quot

Check permissions for you upload directory  You can find its path inside  etc phpmyadmin apache conf file   In my case  Ubuntu 14 04  it was   php admin value upload tmp dir  var lib phpmyadmin tmp   So I checked permissions for  var lib phpmyadmin tmp and it turns out that the directory wasn t writable for my Apache user  which is by default www-data   It could be the case especially if you changed your apache user like I do

Open your php ini file use CNTRL F to search for the following settings which may be the culprit    file uploads upload max filesize post max size memory limit max input time max execution time   Make sure to save a copy of the php ini prior to making changes  You will want to adjust the settings to accommodate your file size  and increase input and or execution time   Remember to restart your services after making changes   Warning  There may be some unforeseen drawbacks if you adjust these settings too liberally  I am not expert enough to know this for sure   Source  http   forum wampserver com read php 2 20757 20935
