I am trying to restore a mysql backup using phpmyadmin on a local xampp installation.

However, when I attempt to do so, the query just hangs forever until it times out.

I noticed that the backup has lock table statements; I removed those, but it made no difference.

Is there any suggestion as to [1] what might be causing the query to hang, and [2] how to kill such a long running query?

Just a complete shot in the dark here but I have seen problems in the past with phpmyadmin that where solved by increasing max_allowed_packet in /etc/my.cnf and/or upload_max_filesize in /etc/php.ini. Not sure how xampp may effect things. – digitaladdictions Oct 7 '11 at 7:43
