After a number of hours looking through various parameters in config files I actually found the following parameters in config.php:
import_max_execution_time
import_max_records_per_file
import_max_records_total_limit
I made ‘import_max_execution_time’ => 3600
I made ‘import_max_records_per_file’ => 5000
I made ‘import_max_records_total_limit’ => ’ ’ // (unlimited)
After these changes and since I had to import less than 5000 records it worked fine. It was a happy day.
I hope this helps a few others…
