Answer 1

As you have phpMyAdmin4.1.14 installed I assume you are using WAMPServer 2.5

In WAMPServer 2.5 the PHP resources used by phpMyAdmin are controlled from the phpMyAdmin alias config file. It was changed for exactly these situations, so you dont have to change the php.ini to add a ridiculously large values to parameters that effect your whole PHP environment.

So to increase the relevant paameters you would do this :-

Edit \wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf which should look like this by default

Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/"

# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside 
# replace the lines
#
# Require local
#
# by
#
# Require all granted
#


   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride all
  
    Require local
  
  
    Order Deny,Allow
      Deny from all
      Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
    
  php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
  php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
  php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
  php_admin_value max_input_time 360

Now change the parameters here, so they only effect what happens when you are running phpMyAdmin.

These are the parameters you should amend

  php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 500M      <-- and probably this
  php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
  php_admin_value max_execution_time 620        <-- this for a start
  php_admin_value max_input_time 360

But basically try a modification and see if it works, if not depending on the error amend the relevant parameter.

Dont forget to restart Apache after each change you make to this file

Oh and dont forget to undo the changes you made to php.ini
