Urgent Help please (php maximum execution time)

[hamed]

Am trying to import a very large database and I get: "Maximum execution time exceeded" error.
I have already changed Maximum execution time in php.ini and restarted apache but I get the same error.
Please help!

Use mysql to import it instead... much more reliable, and no timeout errors. Ensure your maximum packet size in my.cnf is sufficient (at least 500kb above the largest attachment permitted in your database)
