    I’m trying to import a MoveableType blog. I have the appropriate “.txt” file placed on the server, I’m using the default weblog and settings within EE.

    After filling in the appropriate fields for the import, it sends me to the following page where I get a blank white screen:

    <a href="http://mydomain/system/index.php?S=0&C=admin&M=utilities&P=mt_import&F=perform_import">http://mydomain/system/index.php?S=0&C=admin&M=utilities&P=mt_import&F=perform_import</a>

    I’ve checked my server’s log files and the access.log is showing the page was reached just fine, and nothing is pulling within the errors.log file.

    I’m running 1.6.9 with a fresh install.

    Any ideas what would cause this page to error out?

    Just tried importing 1 entry and it worked fine.

    I guess it’s not capable of 1,250 entries at once? Perhaps it’s a memory issue with PHP?

    Problem solved, it was indeed a PHP memory issue. Raised it using my .htaccess file and the import went incredibly smooth.
