I Am The Shadow On The Sun

In Magento 1.5.1.0, I've tried different approaches just to check in the frontend if the admin is logged in. There are lots of codes I found in the net but they didn't work. Well, the easiest approach is just this : Mage::getModel('admin/session')->isLoggedIn() I used that in the custom router I created. Now buy me some beer!

If ever you have encountered the issue mentioned in the title of this post, I have an alternative for that. I experienced that when I imported a very large sql file which is about 2GB. What I did was I used the mysql command line client. I think you have an idea now how i did it. But here we go. In your terminal, type mysql -u <your_username> -p. Then type of course type the password when prompted. Then run use <database_name>; press enter. And then,  source sqlfile.sql; That should do the trick. Just wait for it to finish importing.
