sql - Issue with importing a databse into phpMyAdmin -


i learing how use sql, set localhost, in course of journey, confronted issue of importing sql files phpmyadmin, did right click on config.inc.php , clicked on notepad++ installed, typed in there following code: $cfg['uploaddir']='c:\files';, of course created on hard drive c files directory. came phpmyadmin, clicked on database, clicked on import, got message:

the directory set upload work cannot reached.

can me here issue?

your webserver doesn't have permission read 'c:\files' not valid directory. technically out of web root.

i suggest set upload directory subdirectory of web server's root directory (or in phpmyadmin web directory). if own ease of use want located @ 'c:\files' can create shortcut web root upload directory whatever name it, , place shortcut in 'c:' , name 'files'.
