Able to cont Impex

[lasto]

i have tried various ways of moving my attachments to new board and keep getting errors like this :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9492225 bytes) in /admincp/impex/ImpExDatabaseCore.php on line 1306

i doing 10 attachments at a time and taking them from the file system and then putting them into the mysql database.


Just updating the ImpExDatabaseCore.php from new version of impex

and still it happens

Importing 10

Your PHP does not have enough memory allocated to it to complete this operation. Ask your host to increase the 'memory_limit' variable in php.ini to at least 32M.

To temporarily up your limits edit your includes/config.php file and add these lines right under the <?php line:

ini_set('memory_limit', 32 * 1024 * 1024);

hi m8 cheers for your help because if cant sort out this attachment problem i have to restart the board again and move attachments for well over 4000 threads.Not a task i look forward to.

Will send email to host now.

i have over 33 gigs of attachments will these store in the sql database as im impexing them there from my old board to new board so i can start afresh.Just dont want to start it and then find out mysql cant handle this amount of imformation.

[lasto]

because it crashed out on attachments had to restart it all again - and now when i finally get round to doing the attachments again its just a blank screen - nothing changes at all.(Also ive just grabbed latest impex from here and uploaded that and its still same)

[lasto]

3rd try now and this is all that happens when i go to move attachments - correct path as well - its not throwing up no errors its just not doing anything


Remove ImpEx once import is complete and final
ImpEx build version : 1.85

Database cleanup & restart ||| Online manual
Using ImpExConfig.php for target config.

i have managed to impex everything from my old forum such as threads/posts/polls avatars etc but when i go to attachments the screen goes blank and thats it.
How do i get it to work without having to import all the information again as selecting clear ids or the sessions removes everything so i have to import all over again just so i can get to the attachments option.

ini_set('memory_limit', 32 * 1024 * 1024);

added the line to config.php and it worked for a while then crashed out again.


is 32 the max u are allowed to allocate.

32 is not the maximum you can go up to 64, but the server are using may suspend you for overused resource - if you have your own server then its fine to do it while no one else is browsing (as it will be slow for them)

im on a dedicated so im fine but i even changed it to 512 and still got same error as listed above.

So looks like im out of solutions.

as you can see here i have it set to 24

some of the attachments on my board i know are about 8 meg in size as we set the board up so members can upload upto a size of 8megs.

Does impex show if the attachments imported?

[lasto]

yeah ive had it where its done a few but most of the times it just goes blank.
Once it does that the only way is erase the database and impex everything back in again because deleting session ids does not allow you to go straight back and carry on trying to import attachments - you need to start at top with checking databases and work your way back down the list.

Very annoying.

[Steve Machol]

Can you please post a picture of the completed modules? I still don't understand.

[lasto]

i cant post a pic as i have to delete all session ids in impex to go back to main screen.
Everything is impexed over except the attachments - it starts it and then comes up with an error like this :

I have increased the phpini memory limit as you can see by the stats below but same error all time.
