Exporting database - unknown or incorrect time zone

http://www.electrictoolbox.com/mysql-set-timezone-per-connection/

You may want to set your time zone.

SET time_zone = 'America/Los_Angeles';

or

SET time_zone = '00:00';

Not

SET time_zone = "+00:00";

I've tried every solution found in the web but nothing works. Maybe I not able to apply them!!!! But if you are experiencing the same problem and you are able to change phpMyAdmin settings you can easyly solve removing the flag in export UTC time in the export sql settings. Sorry I couldn't be more exaustive because I'm using italian version of XAMPP and phpMyAdmin. Please excuse my bad English.


  1. set export method to "custom"
  2. uncheck "Dump TIMESTAMP columns in UTC (enables TIMESTAMP columns to be dumped and reloaded between servers in different time zones)" checkbox on the very bottom of the page

tested on XAMPP for Windows 5.6.19-0
