File size limit for importing text file into postgreSQL using phpPGAdmin

Question

I'm still trying to import a large text file into phpPgAdmin and not succeeding. I have changed the following fields in the php.ini file, but it didn't help.

I changed the following fields to:

upload_max_filesize = 3G
post_max_size = 4G
memory_limit = 5G

I believe the timeout default is 30 seconds (which I haven't changed), but I get error messages right away saying "No server supplied!" or "Import error: File could not be uploaded to the server".

And these are very small files compared to the 2GB text file I am trying to import. The largest file I have been able to import is 1.6 MB.

Any ideas?

This error was happening to me, and the solution is pretty simple (something that could easily be overlooked). This is an older post, but since it came up first on a google search I hope I can save someone some time. Restart apache and the changes should take effect. Cheers!
