Not able upload bigger files on import

[trentmu]

Have a look at this post

File Upload Disconnected. Please try again. in employee profile

What is the size of the file generally that are not getting uploaded ? Also, on the local instance, are you using localhost:8000 to access the site or providing site_name:8000 ? If the file size is larger, the file gets uploaded through socket-io which tries to resolve the file’s path. It fails to work for localhost:8000 as it will not find any site inside sites folder by that name. Try to store your site’s name in etc/hosts file and accessing it as site_name:8000.

I also recommend doing .CSV import instead of .xlsx
CSV tends to not hang the system, while xlsx often takes forever to finish if there are any mismatches in data types/requirements. When you do CSV, make sure that the types are matched - particularly dates need to have the same format as you use in the ERPNext DB
