one have to edit php.ini values to increase limits. in my install i have couple developers who prefers also phpmyadmin, and i have increased values like this:

in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:
max_execution_time = 60     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds (def. 30)
max_input_time = 90 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data (def. 60)
memory_limit = 128M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (def. 128mb)
upload_max_filesize = 16M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. (def. 2mb)
post_max_size = 16M ; (def. 8mb)

don't forget to reload apache after modify. those are quite big numbers, one should adjust them to fit to demands.

If it's a very big SQL file, it's probably easier to try this:

You could also look into a phpMyAdmin config option.
Have a look at your

phpmyadmin/config.inc.php (and for info phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php)

/**
 * web-server upload directory
 */
$cfg['UploadDir']   = ''; // Directory for uploaded files that can be executed by
                          // phpMyAdmin. For example './upload'. Leave empty for
                          // no upload directory support

You should be careful and evaluate who is using phpmyadmin.
Customizing this file, so user can upload only within their allowed path maybe an option…

Edit:

UploadDir

Directory where SQL files can be uploaded by means other than phpMyAdmin (for example with FTP).
This allows file import even if file uploads are disabled in php.ini. For example './upload'.
Leave empty for no upload directory support. Use %u for username inclusion.
Note: the dropdown file select field is only shown after a file was successfully uploaded.

$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
