mySQL error

[TPerry]

Not sure if this should go here - and if not feel free to move it.
I'm moving over to a dedicated server and used phpMyAdmin to export my .sql file (635MB) for the first forum. Now, when I try to import it via mysql (haven't got phpMyAdmin to take that big of file yet) I get this

ERROR 1231 (42000): Variable 'character_set_client' can't be set to the value of 'NULL'
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
 
ERROR 1231 (42000): Variable 'collation_connection' can't be set to the value of 'NULL'

Didn't have the problem when I imported it on my VPS (and not much has changed).

OK.. we will see how this does.. used mysqldump for the file (much smaller)...

Fixed... no more phpMyAdmin for this old boy.. back to command line stuff - trust it a lot more!
