7 years ago @medic917 thank you — though I can't recreate the 500 error or the hanging/timeout with that college algebra textbook I can tell you that a 500 error or timeout from a wp_remote_head()/curl request indicates an issue with the receiving end of the request (cnx.org) and not the plugin. I can only advise that you try again? I had no problem importing that textbook only moments ago.
To answer if you can upload a zip file to your server and import locally, I would say that wouldn't be possible. Uploading (huge) zip files to servers has the potential to invite all sorts of trouble which informed the alternative approach we took.
Thank you for the detailed report, it's appreciated.
Description
I'm getting timeout error as shown below.
[10-Nov-2017 16:39:37 UTC] \Pressbooks\Modules\Import::formSubmit html import error, wp_remote_head()cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 5001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received It sometimes gives me HTTP 500 error.
I have my .htaccess settings to php_value upload_max_filesize 192M php_value post_max_size 192M php_value max_execution_time 1000 php_value max_input_time 1000
So I don't know why it's timing out. I'm using this book: https://cnx.org/exports/9b08c294-057f-4201-9f48-5d6ad992740d@5.57.zip/college-algebra-5.57.zip
Any way we can upload zip file into my server and import locally?
Expected behaviour
Should import.
Actual behaviour
Should import, but it loads, hangs, and eventually gives me the mentioned error above. It also sometimes gives me HTTP 500 error.
Steps to reproduce the problem
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, I have pressbooks fully installed with themes and plugins. Using this url book https://cnx.org/exports/9b08c294-057f-4201-9f48-5d6ad992740d@5.57.zip/college-algebra-5.57.zip
