Cannot save MySQL dump

[Piranha98]

Hello

I am downloading a MySQL dump via phpMyAdmin from a web site to my RH 7.3 server. The downloads fails. It creates a tiny file (294 bytes) and that's it. It says it's finished. If I do it on Windows I get a 32 meg file as the dump.

I have tons of disk space and no idea why this happens. I tried 2 different web browers, too.

Any idea why a save to disk via web browser fails?

Thanks!

1) what browser are you using to pull the dump on linux.
2) its been a (rather) long time since I've used phpmyAdmin .. .my db's live on my own box now... what file type does it generate (not the extension, the filetype header that gets sent as a reply header)
3) what are the filetype associations in the browser you are using??

(all of the above are likely issues ... I seem to recall that I've had to talk people through changing filetype associations in netscape on windows to make it work)

I am using Mozilla, Netscape and Konqueror and all have the same issue. I can dowload files from other web sites with no issues.

The file type is shown as MIME application/octetstream. There is nothing specifically specified for the file extensions.

The download in Windows works just fine.

Thanks!
