Google php memory_limit.  Update your php.ini file and restart web server.

Re: Error Restoring Database

You can do a restore using PHPMyAdmin or other SQL client if very large.

Large DB Restore will need to be re-written in FA 2.5.

Re: Error Restoring Database

With xampp I think you need to use the full path at the command line, something like this, perhaps:

C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -u {username} -p {database name} < file_name.sql

On Windows this should work (note the forward slash and that the whole path is not quoted and that spaces are allowed)

USE your db;

SOURCE D:/My Folder with spaces/Folder/file to import.sql;

Hope this help.

For large databases, you need to import from command line.  do not use phpmyadmin.
