Greetings, I was just convinced by GoDaddy to update my servers to a virtual dedicated server, unfortunately they forgot to mention how difficult it would be to transfer my previous mySQL database, and now want $49.99 per 30 minutes to help me. So I've come here to beg for help.

The problem is that I when I try to import my previous database in phpMyAdmin, it says max file size of 2,048 KiB. My mySQL database backup is 30,000 KB. I need to change the max file size so I can upload my backup. I have absolutely no idea how to do this so I followed their guide and downloaded PuTTY in order to try and change things. But their guide is garbage and has very few details in order to try and get you to pay for their extended support.

Once in PuTTY I'm able to access my root, but when there I'm not sure what to do. They say "php -i | grep php.ini" and "upload_max_filesize = 2M" but give no explanation of how to use these lines in PuTTY. I simply just want to increase that filesize so that in phpMyAdmin I can upload a 30,000 KB file... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey..

Not sure if you find your ways but you could try this at root in SSH:

1. php -i | grep php.ini

You should get something like :

Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

2. pico /usr/local/lib/php.ini (if it's different from No.1, just change it to fit yours)

3. Find "upload_max_filesize" by scrolling through the config and change it to the limit you want.

Restart your Apache services.
