phpMyAdmin Import Error

Question

I am trying to import a database using phpMyAdmin. The file is compressed in a .zip.

Every time I try the import I get this error:

Error in ZIP archive: Compressed size is not equal with the value in header information.

I've tried exporting the file again and and used different applications to compress it but I always get the same error.

How can I fix this?

i dont know whats the reason for it, but you can fix this by rename the file to .gz e.g. database.sql.zip to database.sql.gz or if your program supports it, you can compress it to a .gz file in the first hand - this will also fix the problem
