Undo import could not be started. Please check error logs for more details.

Whenever I attempt to undo an import using, I believe, the latest version of CSV Import, I get the above message. There have been a few issues that got me to this point:

First, I was receiving errors whenever I tried to upload a CSV file, which is weird because nothing has changed since mid-December 2014 and this issue came up mid-January 2015. Looked into it, and found suggestions to change the one setting from "BackgroundProcess" to "Synchronous".

Second, we encountered the issue where the maximum execution time of 30 seconds was being hit. Looked into that one and changed "max_execution_time = 360" and "max_input_time = 120"

However, I still get the max execution time of 30 seconds error AND now I can't undo the imports.

Any help would be fantastic.

Hi,

Did you try the samples before importing your files?

Hey Daniel,

I did not try the samples. As of two days ago (the last time I checked before the "Undo Import" option stopped working), smaller files import fine, but files closer to the 2mb limit import only about 60% of the items before it times out.

Cheers,

Hi,

If you can't undo an import, this is not important, because you can select imported items in the items/browse page and delete them all in one time.

If you use synchronous process, you should increase the parameters you say in php.ini, and the maximum sizes of post and upload too.

You can modify these options too in the config.ini file of Omeka : plugins.CsvImport.memoryLimit = "128M", plugins.CsvImport.maxFileSize = "10M" and plugins.CsvImport.batchSize = "1000", in particular the batchsize.

But the background process is better for big imports.
