I am upgrading from 6.5.2 to 7.2.2. The install works fine and the import script to. That is until its about halfway in the importing (stops at different place each time). Then it just stops and nothing happens (shouldnt take more than an hour for it to start again should it?).

(should be a link here and a "please wait" message but nothing...


Any ideas as to why this might happen? I have had time out issues before where Id write a post and then click "post" and it just fails. Then clicking the back button takes you back to the now blank text box. Very annoying. Persistent connections seemed to fix this issue or some other similar feature I was able to activate in the admin section. Is this something similar?

Any help into this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Btw... Will rubbing my computer in with garlic and chanting help resolve the issue?


The "back" button or reloading the import php page does not help (with or without variables in the URL line). So any options to kick it back into action if it stops?
