CSV import hangs

Hi, I want to use the CSV import module. After performing the correct settings (like the mappings), I can start the import. Looking in the log, it states:

Status Starting
Started August 13, 2025 at 8:46:31 PM GMT+2
Ended [Not ended]

And then nothing happens anymore, it is like it has started, but doesn’t do anything without an error.
Info: the path tot php cli is correct.

Would you mind sharing your CSV file to see if it’s formatted correctly? Alternatively, what happens when you convert it to .ods and use that?

Usually if the status is just “Starting” forever it means the job actually failed immediately and was never running.

A common cause of this kind of problem: on some servers you need to configure the path to PHP-CLI to run background jobs. (I now see that you say that’s correct, but worth a double-check, particularly using the button on the system info page for that purpose).

I think this proves that PHP CLI is set right? Or do I have to check something else?

It looks OK, yeah.

You might look at your PHP error logs for an error. It’s still quite likely that what’s happening is that there’s an error immediately, not that the job is really hanging per se.

Unfortunately, there is no PHP error (and thus no log). I have looked in Omeka as well at the provider. It seems like the process starts, but the does not do anything.
