import stalls

    Cloned a live site for local development. Export went smooth, but import stalls. Retried several times, the import stalled on diverse moments; sometimes on 60-70% restoring files, sometimes on the database. Problem arises on a non-repeatable basis. When refreshing the stalled import-screen, I am greeted with an error message about missing files. Mostly to do with one of the 20+ plugins. Total size wpress is 348MB so that’s not an issue.

    Tried jasonpaxtoncooper (@jasonpaxtoncooper) solution: “Then I manually copied the export file to the ai1wm-backups folder and used the Backups feature. This worked.” but to no avail.

    Try increasing max execution time to 60seconds and also increase memory limit to a higher number.

    Issue not resolved. Where do I increase the max execution time?

    You will have to contact your hosting provider to do it for you.

    Hi Yani, in this case I’m cloning to a local development so I’m in control ?? Do I put in an extra line in the config.php or somewhere in the configs for apache? The otherwise easy cloning procedure is just broken off at the end by the looks of it.

    1. You need to find your php.ini file.
    2. Edit your php.ini file and change:
    – set max_execution_time to 120
    – set memory_limit to 256M
    3. Save php.ini
    4. Restart your webserver

    Thanks Yani for your quick response. I initially had the memory_limit already on 512MB but max_execution_time was 30. Cranked it up to 120.
    Created a clean folder, installed a fresh WordPress copy from source, installed only the all in one WP migration plugin. Still the import freezes / hangs on 79% of restoring the files. Can’t click on the stop import button as well. A bit frustrating ??
    Sorry mate, but you’ve got any idea what can cause this?

    To finish this thread for real I can say that there was a difference in php version on the live server and on the local server. When I ironed that out the import went uninterrupted.
