getting existing php site into DW

Question

I've taken over the maintenance and design of an existing site.

I am familiar with DW, currently working on CS3 on a mac.

I've installed MAMP, it and apache are running.

I also created a new site in DW, connected to the existing site and downloaded all of the files to my local drive to work from.

I backed up the multiple databases using the cpanel on the existing site.

It is saved as filename.sql on my local machine.

When I try to import it via phpadmin I get an error saying access denied.

What to try, where to go from here?

Thanks

A .sql file is simply a text file that contains the necessary SQL commands to restore a database and its contents, or to move it to another server. Because of the way it's designed, phpMyAdmin cannot import anything bigger than 2 MB. Also, you need to create an empty database with the same name in order to be able to import the data and structure.
