 * Hi all,
 * I’m trying to import to a new server to move a WordPress site, but I’m getting
   this error. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

 * I’m going to jump on this post too because I’ve had this problem lately. I’m 
   moved a lot of sites the way you’re doing it and just recently I’ve been getting
   this error.
 * My solution was to go to the servers automatic backups they provide instead of
   exporting from myphpadmin. The support for my hosting swears that there shouldn’t
   be any difference, but obviously there is. Hopefully you have access to these
   backups.
