CSV import module error

[mkman]

Dear,

in Omeka S an error occurs when importing a csv file:

Laminas\ServiceManager\Exception\ServiceNotCreatedException
Service with name “Omeka\Cli” could not be created. Reason: Neither “proc_open()” nor “exec()” are available.

Is there any way to bypass the fact that the hosting provider has disabled proc_open().

I cannot display system information due to an error. How can I manually configure the ImageMagick installation? Which files should I modify?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
Adam

You’re going to have some similar answers on a couple of your threads.

CSV Import runs as a background job by default, so it can handle big files that might take a long time to finish importing. Here, your server has disabled both of the functions we can use to start a background job, so CSV Import can’t run. Your question about Classic’s CSV Import has a similar answer.

Here’s a link to a post where I describe a setting you can set in your local.config.php file to make the “background jobs” not actually run in the background. (it’s the part I call “The other option, if your server just can’t run background jobs”)

Adding Items as Resources for a Site

When everything is just “starting” that really means it never started. Depending on the server, this can either mean that you just can’t run background jobs, or that you have to set a setting in our config file to enable them. Here’s a section of the manual that describes the setting you may need to set, the PHP CLI path. You can check this in the “system information” screen as described in the manual there, and if there’s an issue you could check with your host to see if they can give you the…

This will avoid your issue with these functions being blocked, but will mean you’d need to stick to smaller imports that will complete in a shorter amount of time. Switching hosts to one that allows these functions is also a possible route, if that’s feasible for you.
