read_dump.lib.php Error when importing old vB

[ChAiN LeTtEr]

Hi. We are changing web hosts, so last night, I backed up our stuff the way I read to then on the new host, made the database and everything then started to import. It was taking awhile (the file was about 22.5mb) so I decided to go to bed and leave it running. This morning, I came downstairs to look and it had given me this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 91


Help! TIA!

Ok, I realized that is way too big to try and do via phpMyadmin. I re-backed up the db and used bz2, so it's only just over 4mb now, which is still rather large, but am going to try it because I'm not sure I have ssh access. So I'd rather avoid having to ask my host if possible.

Let me know if I'm on the wrong track.

Thanks!

Bleh, that didn't work. It said file could not be read. I'll try gzip.

ok, so figured out I'll probably have to use ssh/telnet. Only problem is, I have to pay $20 to my host to use it once. So I'm thinking there should be a command I can use in phpMyadmin for a query?

Got it setup. Thanks for the replies. :P
