How to Increase Import Size Limit in phpMyAdmin

Question

Does anyone know if or how you can increase the import size limit in phpMyAdmin? Currently my server is limited to 50MB.

Please note that this is no

Answer 1

Change the file phpmyadmin.conf on c:/wamp64/alias/phpmyadmin.conf

php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 512M
php_admin_value post_max_size 512M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
php_admin_value max_input_time 360

It's very important you increase the time to 5000 or higher, Thus, the process will not stop when you are uploading a large file.

That works for me.

1:nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
you can find your php.ini location by uploading a file called phpinfo.php with the following contents<?php phpinfo();?> and access it by visiting yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php ,you will see the results

2:change the desired value to upload_max_filesize and post_max_size such as : upload_max_filesize = 200M post_max_size = 300M then it will become 200M.

3:restart your apache

Answer 3

IF YOU ARE USING NGINX :

1. cd /etc/php/<PHP_VERSION>/fpm example => cd /etc/php/7.2/fpm

2. nano php.ini

   post_max_size = 1024M 
   upload_max_filesize = 1024M 
   max_execution_time = 3600 
   max_input_time = 3600 
   memory_limit = 1024M 
   

3. after saving php.ini file , restart fpm using :

   systemctl restart php<PHP_VERSION>-fpm
   

example => systemctl restart php7.2-fpm

Answer 4

You can increase the limit from php.ini file. If you are using windows, you will the get php.ini file from C:\xampp\php directory.

Now changes the following lines & set your limit

post_max_size = 128M
upload_max_filesize = 128M 
max_execution_time = 2000
max_input_time = 3000
memory_limit = 256M

Answer 5

If you are using WHM/Cpanel then in order to change that "Max: 50MiB" limit in the import section of phpmyadmin, you will have to change two values in WHM (Web Host Manager).

Step 1) Go to Tweak settings, find the "cPanel PHP Max upload size" change it according to your needs. Save changes.

Step 2) Go to Tweak settings, find the "cPanel PHP Max POST size" change it according to your needs. Save changes.

Go back to your phpMyadmin. The value should have changed.

Answer 6

I increased the max file size by going to CPanel > Select PHP version > Switch to PHP Extensions and then scroll to the upload_max_filesize field (it will have a clickable link for the size - mine was set at 2MB) and I increased it to 256MB. Then click "Save".
