I’ve installed ubuntu and phpmyadmin + apache. When I try to import a database I am getting these two errors, anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
import.php: Missing parameter: import_type (FAQ 2.8)
import.php: Missing parameter: format (FAQ 2.8)
In config.inc.php, try to leave the $cfgPmaAbsoluteUri directive empty. See also FAQ 4.7.
Maybe you have a broken PHP installation or you need to upgrade your Zend Optimizer. See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31134.
If you are using Hardened PHP with the ini directive varfilter.max_request_variables set to the default (200) or another low value, you could get this error if your table has a high number of columns. Adjust this setting accordingly. (Thanks to Klaus Dorninger for the hint).
In the php.ini directive arg_separator.input, a value of “;” will cause this error. Replace it with “&;”.
If you are using Hardened-PHP, you might want to increase request limits.
The directory specified in the php.ini directive session.save_path does not exist or is read-only.
phpMyAdmin generally has quirks when importing especially large databases (which it mostly can’t do at all). I recommend to do importing simply on the command line using
mysql -h yourhost -u youruser -pyourpass dbase < yourbackupdb.sql
