Issue Summary
i am getting the dreaded White Screen of Death after Step 3 of the Node Import Wizards. My PHP memory limit is above 100MB. I have tried using all input formats and file sizes between 1 record and 2500. All result in the WSOD! I was able to progress past this point with RC3 and Drupal 6.9. Currently running RC4 and Drupal 6.10. Anyone else having this issue?

#1
I'm experiencing the same thing after step 3 with Drupal 5. Have you resolved it?
#2
same here.
...subscribing.
#3
The problem occurs when you have cck field with default value.
I had a php generated default value and after removing default value settings import works again.
#4
Same here. I don't have any default values for CCK fields though. Something with Location module perhaps? Or maybe with the way Phone CCK field handles empty content in the latest version?
#5
Update - I had a 'select list' text field. By converting this to a straight text field I got it working. My guess is that a select list messes with the default settings, as the defaults option isn't displayed.My mistake. This didn't fix it at all, but I got pushed back to Step 1 and didn't notice. D'oh!
#6
Update - OK. I couldn't find an immediate solution for the WSOD after Step 3, so I disabled Node Import, uninstalled it, deleted the files, reinstalled the module with dev version, then tried to import a variety of source data, data formats and content types, including extremely simple examples of each type. Everything caused a white screen after step 3. This is clearly not just related to default values in CCK fields as I tried to import to unaltered Story and Page content types.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's a basic incompatibility with another module on my site, or with the sever setup I'm using (nginx). Next step is to try importing on a completely different 6.x site and get that working.
FWIW, so far I've spent over a week all told trying to get Node Import working on 6.x this year, and I've failed to import a single record correctly in all that time.
#7
I too have run into this problem this week.
i need to import quite a few nodes into a catalog. I have it working on a local dev server, but when trying to replicate a test case on the host i get a WSOD after step 3. my test case is a one record CSV file.
Could it be the way imagecache uses re-writes ? i discovered that in the image column of the csv, the file names must not include underscores. the file wobbly_bob.jpg would cause errors (but not WSOD) and wobbly-bob.jpg would import correctly. i though this was the solution, but trying it on the host still produced white screen.
any ideas totally appreciated. i will update if i find a solution. does anybody have a workaround ?
config :
drupal 13
Ubercart 6.x-2.0-rc4 (imagecache and thickbox)
CCK 6.x-25
date 6.x-23
cheers

OK there may be multiple issues causing this effect. I've solved mine using #555202: node_import+ubercart - function rename in ubercart-6.x-2.x-rc5 (err: undefined function uc_product_node_is_product()) - node import dev version has fallen behind ubercart, and the two packages are incompatible unless that patch is installed.
#9
This was my issue also. solved.
thanks mate!
#10
In my case, I got the WSOD after Step 3 because I was trying to use a .csv exported for MS Excel on a Mac. Tried it from a PC and it works just fine. Just in case someone else is having the same issue.
Edit: Then I enabled the Ubercart module and it broke again. Going to try patch.
