[TYPO3] Typo3 Super Noob - Site Transfering

[Francois Suter]

Hi,

Well, if you have access to the command line, I would do it from there:

mysql database_name -u user_name -p < your_dump_file

If the database is UTF-8, add --default-character-set=utf8

Otherwise, you will first need to raise the limit of file size that  
PHP accepts. Then recent version of phpMyAdmin are able to manage  
import a large dump in chunks to avoid timeout, so you should be  
fine, except that it's much slower than the command line.
