Hi David,
I'm trying to import a feed that's about 350MB large (yes, it really is that big). My web-browser was waiting for a reply from the server for some time and I was expecting a timeout but instead I received an Internal server error (500).
Here's the exact text from the message:
-----------------------------------
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, xxxx@xxxxx.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.xxxxxxx.com Port 80
------------------------------------
I have been looking for an updated error log but to no avail (for this particular error). I'll let you know if I find it. Any ideas in the meantime? Is the file too big or is it a timeout?..etc? I'm on a shared server but so far so good. I will probably move to dedicated soon. Is there anything I can try in the meantime?
Thanks a lot! -Joe
Hey David,
Thanks a lot! The new PHP helped show me the progress and the shell made it no problem to import the size. I plan on automating it anyway so it's fine. I should've thought of that in the first place. I have a different question for you but it relates to a different thread so I'll close this one off. Thanks again!! -Joe
Hello Joe,
For a file that size it would really be best to import via the command line. Do you have SSH access to your server at all? If so, you can login, change directory to the /scripts/ folder of your Price Tapestry installation and then run:
$php import.php filename(where $ is your command prompt)
I've also emailed you an alternative version of admin/feeds_import.php that will continuously generate output during the import process which may help if you're not able to login via SSH...
Cheers,
David.
