Importing Contacts Error
March 11, 2008, 09:05:54 pm
In 2.0 beta 5 I'm continually getting the same error while trying to import contacts.  Regardless of whether I'm using UTF8, UTF16, Mac line endings, Unix line endings, or DOS line endings, I'm always getting "Import Data File is a required field" for every CSV file I attempt to import.  I am supplying the file every time.  So what might cause CiviCRM to indicate that I haven't done so?

Thanks.

Weird... seems to only be happening in my Test environment.  I tried this on a live server and it worked.

1. check the size of the file

2. check your php upload limit (in php.ini) and all the variables associated with uploads in the ini file. I've also had an issue with FF trying to send some large upload files.

it took me a couple of hours once to figure out the above  (my memory is a bit hazy as to the actual cause!) :(. so hopefully one of the above helps fix your issue. please update forum when fixed :)
