I looked for people with a similar error but I didn't find anyone. Basically, I want to import data from my database into a database on a test server, both fully running with PhpMyAdmin. I have exported my data from the full database and then tried importing it on the test server, however I get a file size 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.
The file however has a size of 34 KB, so that error completely mystifies me. Any experience with this?
The problem was the following: All configurations in my php.ini were correct, and I had no upload_tmp_dir specified. However, phpymadmin had its own custom temporary upload folder, located at /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp This was set to drwxr (read, write, execute), however it didn't belong to my user, so I did a chown username tmp, and it works now.
Please check upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini file for configuration.
upload_max_filesize = 3M
post_max_size = 3M
OR
Set custom directory to upload_tmp_dir in your php.ini. The directory you set must be writable.
upload_tmp_dir = PATH\To\YOURDIRECTORY
And don't forget to restart you server.
