Import Failure

  • Hi, I exported the XML with my posts and tags and tryed to Import on my server, is VPS, although I raise the memory limit, the import keeps exceding, so I installed local and reseved 2GB of memory to PHP, but still is not enough.

    My XML has 56Mb, I dont know what to do. I tryed moving the database, but I got a lot error and PHP and resolved to do a fresh install and just import the posts.

    A example of the error:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6144 bytes) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\kses.php(550) : runtime-created function on line 1

    Note that I allowed 2GB

    If your exported file is very large, the import script may run into your host’s configured memory limit for PHP.

    A message like “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted” indicates that the script can’t successfully import your XML file under the current PHP memory limit. If you have access to the php.ini file, you can manually increase the limit; if you do not (your WordPress installation is hosted on a shared server, for instance), you will have to break your exported XML file into several smaller pieces and run the import script one at a time.

    If the import process is run again with the same data file after stopping midway through, it could result in duplicate data, missing data or other errors in the destination database.

    For those with shared hosting, the best alternative may be to consult hosting support to determine the safest approach for running the import. A host may be willing to temporarily lift the memory limit and/or run the process directly from their end.

    Even local I got this error. I raised the limit, I think that 2GB its good enough, only for the PHP.

    I did a dump, but I got errors when I updated to version 3, the same errors that people are postin here.

    I know you say you allocated two gig, but look at this bit:

    (tried to allocate 6144 bytes)

    I don’t think that’s working.

    I’m having the same problem. The XML is too big, and this is a lot frustrating… I don’t see a reason why PHP memory usage on this script will grow larger than 256M. My XML file is also ~ 57MB… I think the code needs some clean up on memory usage… ??

    We gave up, it’s just too complicated to do this. Instead, we’re planning on migrating by a sql dump / search and replace approach.
