phpMyAdmin exporting database giving Failed - Network error

I use phpMyAdmin to manage my database for a Laravel project. I'm now no longer able to export my database from phpMyAdmin, getting an error "Failed - Network error".

I've not encountered this issue before and I have not updated any software on the server.

Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a possible solution please?

Ubuntu- 20.04.2 PHP -8.0.18 MySQL -8.0.29 phpMyAdmin - 4.9.5deb2

If you have shell access to the server, you can easily export it using mysqldump

@Sinnbeck Yeah that is true. I may have to do it that way until I resolve this issue.

I would like to know what has caused the issue in any case. it's an odd one.
