Large xml files timeout

Submitted by robansell on Tue, 2010-08-17 12:36 in

Hi David

One of my feeds is a very large xml file (106Mb). Is there a way to load large xml files as it always seems to timeout? If there is a link on the forum to this topic, please just point me to it.

My PC just locks up if I try to convert the xml to a CSV.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

For feeds that size it really would be best to import from the command line if that is an option, the process is straight forward, simply SSH (largely succeeded Telnet these days) into your account using a program such as Putty, and then change directory to your /pricetapestry/scripts/ folder and issue the command

$php import.php filename.xml

(where $ is your command prompt)

Otherwise, you'll find lots of information about handling import timeouts via the web interface on the following page:

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
