# Error with Importing XML

 * I’m attempting to upload an XML file with a quiz that has 291 questions. It uploads
   and validates correctly (I see the quiz name, and each of the questions’ titles).
   But, when I click “Start Import” I get the following error:
 * Request Entity Too Large
    The requested resource /wp-admin/admin.php does not
   allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the 
   request exceeds the capacity limit.
 * I’ve been searching around for an answer, and it seems to come to being a memory
   issue. But, my allotted memory seems much larger than others who have the same
   issue. Here are the stats:
 * Operating System : Linux (32 Bit)
    Server : Apache Memory usage : 39.16 MByte
   MYSQL Version : 5.0.96-log SQL Mode : Not set PHP Version : 5.3.24 PHP Memory
   Limit : 256 PHP Max Upload Size : 32M PHP Max Post Size : 33M PCRE Backtracking
   Limit : 500000 PHP Max Script Execute Time : 30s
 * Is there any thing that seems to be low or is there another value I’ve overlooked?
   Anyone else with a similar issue?
 * Thanks

 * Big, I’m new to QPRO. I want to format just 40 Qs from a Word file to XML and
   import it. Can you point me to a tutorial on how to correctly write/format the
   MS Word XML for import? Thanks.

 * If you have existing questions, probably the easiest thing to do would be to 
   Export that quiz and then open the file in a text editor. Then just copy the 
   format that it’s in with the new questions.
 * Let me know if that’s unclear.
 * Thanks
