Topic: DB Management plugin not working.

when i try to upload a zipped or plain sql file via the db management plugin it doesn't do anything. the page flickers/refreshes after i click "Start Restore" and nothing seems to be done.

some specs:
db size gzipped: 9.06m, plain sql: 93.4m

db source
online live forum, v1.2.14, db backup via plugin

db destination
localhost, fresh install of wamp, fresh install of v1.2.14(for compatibility reasons i guess)

has anyone successfully used the plugin to do a backup and restore?

Re: DB Management plugin not working.

The upload could have been rejected for being too large.
The DB Management tool does work, but it's limited by PHP, among other things. You're better off using mysqldump to generate backups and importing a database dump directly back into MySQL.
