Error message “Site is experiencing technical difficulties”

    I’ve read the Ghost 3.0 announcement and also the news about the new version of the migration plugin. I’ve installed Ghost 3.0 on my VPS and it’s working fine, and I’d like to export my WordPress blog posts to the Ghost one.

    I’ve installed the plugin but it doesn’t work. After a few seconds the following message appears: “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    I guess this is due to my blog being quite large. I’ve got over 3,100 posts (it’s been up since 2005) and I guess the script needs more time (or memory, or file size permissions) to finish its work. Could somebody help to find the exact problem and how to solve it?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Tried to change some PHP parameters in my WordPress’ VPS (I use EasyEngine there to automate some processes, but I don’t use EE on the Ghost VPS, that’s a different one). According to this support article I’ve changed this on the “custom.ini” file:

    max_input_vars = 1234
    max_memory_limit = 256M
    max_execution_time = 300
    upload_max_filesize =100M
    post_max_size =100M

    After restarting nginx and PHP the plugin still doesn’t work. Same error, even when I try to download the .json file.

    Hi @javipas – thank you for the feedback. ??

    Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the export.

    We’ve got an active thread going on the Ghost support forum.

    I recommend trying to increase max_input_vars, max_memory_limit and max_execution_time to as much as your VPS can support to see if that helps.
