Can't import large lists
« on: December 04, 2006, 02:06:45 pm »
I am able to import .csv lists using the upload method up to a certain size.  But at some point, it fails to upload it gives me a 'file not found' error by the FTP form.  I took a list with 25K users on it and got this error.  By gradually paring it down, I found that I can upload files of 15K users or so.  

I don't think this is about illegal characters, because I removed all single quotes and commas.

Is this about the max file upload setting in php.ini?  Or is it just timing out?

I am on version 1.87d.

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich,

Either of your suggestions could be the cause but I would first suspect the PHP.INI maximum upload size, especially if you never have timeout errors elsewhere in the script, such as when sending email.  You can either increase this (or have your host increase it) or try manually uploading your file to the ListMail folder.  With the latter you simply enter the filename into the second input box in the CSV section of the Import page.
