Power up with new SaaS Add-Ons from the DigitalOcean Marketplace

Question

Unable to import dummy data xml file into wordpress importer.

  • Posted July 7, 2014

I have setup wordpress 3.9.1 on ubuntu 32 with nginx.

Whenever I import xml dummy data files, the files uploads till 70% and then starts to reupload and then finally gives up.

I have run the following commands to tackle permission problems

cd /usr/share/nginx/html/

sudo chown www-data:www-data * -R

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/nginx/html/
sudo usermod -a -G www-data myusername
sudo chmod -R g+rw /usr/share/nginx/html/

I am now able to install plugins but the above problem persists.

any help is appreciated

Judging from the error message, you need to increase upload_max_filesize in your php settings. Run:

nano /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

And set:

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

You might also need to set it in your Nginx configuration as well. Run:

nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Find and edit the line starting with:

client_max_body_size 100M;

Finally restart both php and Nginx:

sudo service php5-fpm reload
sudo service nginx reload

Are you seeing any output in Nginx’s error logs?

tail /var/log/nginx/error.log
