It looks like error handling in XML import is not as it should be:
FastCGI-stderr: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Serialization of 'SimpleXMLElement' is not allowed' in libraries/Error.class.php:161
Stack trace:
libraries/Error.class.php(161): serialize(Array)
libraries/Error_Handler.class.php(106): PMA_Error->getHash()
[internal function]: PMA_Error_Handler->handleError(2, 'count(): Node n...', '...', 189, Array)
libraries/import/xml.php(189): count(Object(SimpleXMLElement))
import.php(394): include('...')
{main}
thrown in libraries/Error.class.php on line 161
Seen on demo server on current master, I have no clue what were imported data.
PmaAbsoluteUri is definitely correct and there are no special chars in path on http://demo.phpmyadmin.net/ :-)
Oooops!!!
Looks like I've mistakenly selected something irrelevant from the response dropdown.
I wanted to select "Fixed in repository".
This bug was fixed in repository and will be part of a future release; thanks for reporting.
Madhura, it looks like your patch breaks other things:
FastCGI-stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function PMA_isSerializable() in libraries/Error.class.php on line 155
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() phpmyadmin.css.php:0
PHP 2. PMA_Theme_Manager->printCss() phpmyadmin.css.php:40
PHP 3. PMA_Theme->loadCss() libraries/Theme_Manager.class.php:367
PHP 4. include() libraries/Theme.class.php:313
PHP 5. PMA_Error_Handler->handleError() libraries/Theme.class.php:81
PHP 6. PMA_Error->getHash() libraries/Error_Handler.class.php:106
Should be fixed now.
