Hi everybody,

While uploading a *.sxw-file (OpenOffice.org), I get the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5032 bytes) in /srv/www/htdocs/web12/html/bbb/lib/ezi18n/classes/ezchartransform.php on line 302
Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish its request

The filesize is 11,7 KB (103 pages of pure text without images)

The server is a 3.3 GHz P4 with 1GB DDRAM
eZ publish version is 3.5.1
MySQL version is 4.0.15-Max
OS is SuSE-Linux 9.0 Professional

I have a screenshot of my System-Monitor uploaded. It is accessable at:
http://www.server4profis.de/screen8.png

As an explanation for the remarks on the screenshot:
The file aa30.sxw is the Problem: file-size = 11,7 KB no images
File aa27.sxw is working fine: File-Sizes = 30,7 KB 4 Images
File aa1.sxw is working fine: File-Size = 6 KB no Images

It seems, that ezchartransform.php is the problem
After this I tried aa31.sxw with the same content as aa30.sxw but all german "umlauts" converted to ascii-conform letters. But with no better result.

Has anyone a hint for me?

Hi again,

in addition to my last post:

I have set memory_limit to 196MB and max_execution_time to 600 sec.
The result is, that the memory size is exhausted as before.

So I changed line 302 of the file lib/ezi18n/classes/ezchartransform.php from include( $filepath ); to include_once( $filepath );
Now memory_limit won't be exhausted, but the script is running out of time after the allowed execution-time of 600 secs. This are 10 Minutes. (In words: ten minutes).

Is eZ at least not able to handle bigger files (large word-counts but not large file-sizes)???

Has anyone any idea?

Hi Thorsten,

thanks for the info. The OOo import does require quite alot of memory since it uses DOM XML parsing. I will have a look at it and see excacly where the limit is and make this part of the documentation before the release.

The extension is not designed to import very long documents, since eZ publish is not designed to hold very large ammounts of text in the XML attributes there will be a limit for where this becomes useful. For large text documents we need to split it into several objects.
