cPanel’s phpmyadmin fails to export database
Published
If cpanel’s phpmyadmin shows an error like:
can’t find the file at export.php
During an export/database dump raise the php memory limit to 512MB ram for cpanel’s internal php.ini file.
The file is located at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini
Change the memory limit
memory_limit = 512M
When done, run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/install_php_inis
