Advice: Importing large amount of products (Way to fix the 500 Internal Server Error)

[htorbov]

Hi, guys!

 

My store have ~700 clothes for now, but I'll import +200 every month and it was very hard for me at the start because I was getting the same error everytime when I tried to upload large amount of products.

 

 

-----------------

 

That's my solution:

1. Delete all stuff from Preferences > Image (after that PrestaShop will not regenerate images anymore).

2. Use Multiple Image Resizer .NET to generate "thumb", "large" and all the images that you want.

 

-----------------

 

BTW, the resizer software is free, very fast and it have Suffix option so you can add -small to every image (I use this software for years, my pictures are ~1500X1000px with very good quality and ~90kb)

 

So now, when I import or update existing products, categories and stuff.. I don't get the 500 error..

 

The only bad thing is that I need to resize my images but anyway.. I want best quality with small size of images so it's still better to use the resizer (in my case).

 

Good luck!
