(Get the code!)
I've successfully imported 5 of my 6 GEDCOMs using MySQL 5.0.90 ... but the large one failed.
It took 30 minutes after clicking "Import" then "Save" to get to drawing the Progress Bar. But at 0% it gave up saying "no Head record found".
The BLOB in wt_gedcom is only 1.2 MiB for that GEDCOM (it's a 10.7 MB file in reality) ... and does have
0 HEAD
on the first line, like my other gedcoms, and it imports OK on my local machine.
Fortunately it hasn't (yet) blown away the imported data from my pgv_to_wt so the website is still available. It obviously failed before doing the delete from commands.
Going back to the editgedcoms page, it looks like it might still be trying to do something, as the page is still "loading", and there are no "Configuration", "Export", "Import" etc links in that row. I have little option but to leave that page open, though I'm unconfident that it's going to work. More relevant questions are "Am I constantly using (exhausting) resources on the webhost which might generate a HelpDesk email" and "how do I abort the import"
