DreamHost SQL Import Guide
DreamHost's phpMyAdmin times out on large dumps, but SSH access makes the CLI the better route.
Typical limits
- • phpMyAdmin import timeouts on large files
- • Upload size limits in the web interface
- • Remote database host adds latency to imports
Best fixes
- • Use SSH and import with the mysql command line
- • Reference the database hostname, not localhost
- • Split the dump if you must use phpMyAdmin
