I have just installed phpmyadmin on a Windows 2008 Sever with IIS installed and I want to important a database which I have created on my own machine onto this server within phpmyadmin.

When I try do so I get an error message

File could not be read

I have read this may be due to the open_basedir within php.ini

I have changed open_basedir to open_basedir = D:\inetpub and then placed the database.sql.zip file into the inetpub folder but I am still getting the same error message.

Anyone know where I am going wrong?

see this article. http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/forums/forum/72909/topic/3817584

I don't know why that works but seemed to help that case. My answer to you is don't use phpmyadmin as a crutch. You should at least learn the basic mysql syntax to import your database from the command line.
