Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
From my experience using a decent dedicated server, anything too large results in timeouts or white screens - usually when importing anything over 1MB, so I wonder if ZIPs might end up creating similar issues as it encourages large uploads. As a result, I tend to just break down a large CSV file into smaller chunks and do 3 or 4 uploads instead of one
Obviously might just be something I need to change on my server's setup, but I've already increased memory to 100MB+ and timeouts to 120 seconds, and know that most shared server enviornemnt don't allow for changes to these sort of settings in php,ini etc
