When uploading data into MySQL through phpmyadmin exceed the timeout limit, you can edit the setting to avoid it. In .\phpmyadminXXX\libraries\config.default.php /** * maximum execution time in seconds (0 for no limit) * * @global integer $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] */ //$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 300; $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0; Setting $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] equal to zero means no limit of execution time.
