Hi

I've got a old phpbb database dump. I want to put this up again on my site along with the rest of the forum.

However when I try to upload the sql file through phmyadmin I keep getting an "Internal Server Error" I have contacted my host but I have a feeling its more to do with the size of the file, the SQL file is 2653kB .

What do I do. And I'm also looking for a phpbb pro who will be able to get my old forum running again. I've got all the files to a custom design that I got made.

Please PM me your AIM or MSN handle. I have had these errors happen to me as well and I can fix them.

PM me your MSN, AIM, ICQ, or YIM, I can fix it as well. :)

You could either gzip the file using SSH, or dump it manually through SSH. Either way will work.

Cheers,
Josh

Ask your hosting support team to increase the size in the following line in /etc/my.cnf file :

set-variable = max_allowed_packet=xxxM

And make a try again...;)
