Import of DB with PHPMyAdmin not working

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

I opened PHPMyAdmin on localhost:8092. Opened a DB of an environment Removed all tables. Tried to import a DB and PHPMyAdmin gives me only this: Incorrect format parameter I have tried multiple DB backups (sql files), and also compressed (zip files).

[update] It’s probably because of upload limits, so I’ve edited the php.ini file in /usr/local/php with this:

upload_max_filesize = 1000M
post_max_size = 1000M

I see these values in a phpinfo page I created, but PHPMyAdmin still uses 2M as max upload size.

Hi,

I solved import of DB error, by changing UPLOAD_LIMIT=1G at docker-compose.yml

myadmin: image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin container_name: phpmyadmin ports: - “8083:80” environment: - UPLOAD_LIMIT=1G - PMA_ARBITRARY=1 - PMA_HOST=${MYSQL_HOST} restart: always depends_on: - mysqldb

@mbootsman I looked into this a bit. wp-local-docker-v2 utilizes the phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin image. Turns out the latest image of phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin does NOT configure the max upload size in php at all where, at least some, previous images did.

Here is the new image

[dustin@Dustins-Mac-mini ~]$ docker run --rm -ti 8ad87a8e95c4 bash
root@004f0b216f6c:/var/www/html# cat /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/phpmyadmin-misc.ini
allow_url_fopen = Off
max_execution_time = 600
memory_limit = 512M

Here is the old image

[dustin@Dustins-Mac-mini ~]$ docker run --rm -ti 626319eaebed bash
root@a496503af277:/var/www/html# cat /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php-phpmyadmin.ini
[PHP]
allow_url_fopen = Off
max_execution_time = 600
memory_limit = 512M
open_basedir = /var/www/html:/tmp/:/etc/phpmyadmin/
post_max_size = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 512M

[Session]
session.cookie_httponly = 1
session.hash_function = 1
session.save_path = "/sessions"
session.use_strict_mode = 1

[opcache]
opcache.fast_shutdown = 1
opcache.restrict_api = /disabled/
opcache.save_comments = 0
opcache.use_cwd = 0
opcache.validate_timestamps = 0

For this an issue would need to be raised at https://github.com/phpmyadmin/docker/issues.

However, you have other options. wp-local-docker-v2 does expose mysql on port 3306 so you can use any database management app you might have on your system already. Simply connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3306 and log in as root/password. Your other option to import the database is to put the sql file into the doc root of your project (so wp-local-docker-sites//wordpress) and use 10updocker wp db import <filename>. This will import the database using wp cli instead of other methods.

Hope that helps
