Trouble importing SQL database in phpMyAdmin

Troubleshooting / Errors
#1

When I try to import a SQL file using phpMyAdmin, I get an error message after 5 seconds or so:

This site can’t be reached

The connection was reset.

Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

My firewall is currently off, and I am connected to the internet.

#2

This is likely happening because the .sql file is too large for PHPMyAdmin’s file size limit of 150MB. The best method is to run the import from the command line for those larger database files. You can follow our guide: MySQL Database Export, Backup and Import, Restore Methods
