Prestashop CSV Import on Localhost

votes

Setup: - Prestashop 1.6 Fresh Install - Products CSV export from a live site (Prestashop 1.4)

Goal: What I want to accomplish is to completely test the CSV Import on localhost first before doing it on a new site. I have already tried it on the live site and I encounter a bunch of errors, so I though it would be better to test is first.

Problem: Now the problem is that the CSV Import doesnt seem to work on localost. Whenever I try to upload the CSV i get a "products_stream.csv (382.23 KB) : File is too large" error.

I have also tried copying the csv file directly to the admin/import folder to see if it would appear on the 'Choose from history /FTP' list but that also failed.

Would greatly appreciate any help! Cheers!

it depends on PHP configuration variables. Edit your php.ini file and increase these values, for localhost develop you can do it without fear.

Example PHP.ini modifications

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; Modified for prestashop develop 
upload_max_filesize = 256M

I also suggest you to change these other values in order to better Prestashop develop:

memory_limit = 512M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
max_input_vars = 5000    ; Numero maximo de variables post

After changing values, don't forget to restart your LAMP or WAMP server (almost Apache) and to clear browser cookies before retrying import process.

Best regards
