Cron and slow import

Submitted by robah on Thu, 2015-07-09 22:02 in

Hi David

Hope you are well.

I am currently updating my sites to the 15/01A script

I am also getting round to using CRON. I have signed up with easycron

So far so good.

Easycron goes off and fetches the feeds (quite amazing really!!) then it tries to import and i get the dreaded 500 error.

So i need the CRON to "slow import" is there an easy way to do this?

Regards

Rob

Hello Rob,

Could you perhaps email me a screenshot of the CRON page from your 1&1 hosting control panel and I will guide you through setting up a server, PHP command line version of cron.php (if supported) as that is by far the best way to execute CRON. Running a length process through a web browser is not ideal, and 500 errors are typically web server imposed time-outs...!

If you could also go to /admin/ > Setup > CRON and copy into your email each of the command line options displayed that will help also...

Thanks,

David.

Hi David

It fetches the feeds perfectly ... and it imports small feeds perfectly .. just time out 500 with large feeds, then halts. I then click slow import from the PT admin page and import the remaining feeds manually.
