 * Hi!
    * I am moving a large website (450M+ sql uncompressed, 47M compressed). 
   I have imported database to my new server. when I hit import it went to upto %
   33 after a few retries and now it won’t pass this percentage. * I get the error:“
   This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it 
   should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase‘
   Connection Timeout’.” * I have set max_execution_time, max_input_time, max_input_vars
   to 1000 and memory_limit to -1 and it’s still not working. * any idea how I can
   fix this? thank you

 * I advise you to run the migration in local. In this case, you won’t have the 
   limitations of the server.
 * Here is the procedure for Windows: [https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/](https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/)
   and for Mac: [https://www.fredericgilles.net/how-to-migrate-to-wordpress-from-various-cms-on-a-mac-mamp-server/](https://www.fredericgilles.net/how-to-migrate-to-wordpress-from-various-cms-on-a-mac-mamp-server/)

 * these did the trick on local for others with similar issue:
    ” php settings -
   > max_execution_time -> choose -> 7200 php settings -> max_input_time -> choose-
   > 7200 php settings -> max_input_vars -> choose -> 7200 php settings -> memort_limit-
   > choose -> 2048M php settings -> post_max_size -> choose -> 2048M php settings-
   > upload_max_size -> choose -> 2048M mysql settings -> max_allowed_packet -> 
   choose -> 512M mysql settings -> inodb_wait_lock_timeout -> choose -> 120 ” I
   was using xampp so it was a bit different to edit these limits but I managed 
   to do it and I could move a 6 gig website. thank you
