Moving DB from localhost to server

Permalink
Total Newbie question.....

When I try to export my local MySQL database in SQL format, I can't save it as an SQL file. When it says, save as type, there's nothing there, except for All Files! This has never happened to me before when exporting a MySQL database. I noticed that it is happening with all of the Concrete5 databases that I have been experimenting with. Only the C5 databases.
What am I doing wrong?

What are you using for your local development environment? Mamp Pro?

XAMPP and Dreamweaver.

I figured it out ... It went by so fast, I couldn't read the warning, until I did a screen capture of it.

Warning: a form on this page has more than 1000 fields. On submission, some of the fields might be ignored, due to PHP's max_input_vars configuration.

It had to do with the max_input_vars parameter in php.ini.

Good to hear you figure it out. Updating the php.ini file sounds familiar. I used XAMP before and found it a little hard to use. Mamp Pro is a little easier to use and works well with C5 right out of the box unless you are importing large DB.

Thanks! Mamp Pro sounds interesting. I might have to look into it. :)
