Importing more than 80 or so photos from server aborts early
DavidGriffith opened this issue · comments
Detailed description of the problem
When attempting to import more than a certain number of photos from the server, the process stalls with no explanation at around the 80 mark. The "importing" screen just keeps going and going. You'll know Lychee aborted or stalled when watching on htop that the load goes back to normal.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Put a directory containing around 100 photos on your server. Create a new album, then select "Import from server". Give the dialog the directory on the server containing your 100+ photos. Watch as the process stalls out. Eventually you'll be able to load the gallery in another tab and notice that not all the photos got into the gallery.

Can you try setting php_script_limit to 1 in the advanced options?
Overall, https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-Laravel (soon-to-be-v4) has an enhanced import feature that should be immune to such problems and that also provides real-time progress information via the GUI. We have a beta release ready for download, though that one does not include these enhancements, but even the bleeding edge from git is generally pretty stable. I encourage you to give it a try!
Given that we have not heard from the author, I assume this issue closed.
Tried it. Didn't work
