Importing keeps hanging after 1000 import (dedicated server)

Hello,

I have a dedicated server and i am trying to migrate my website from drupal to wordpress.
Its somewhat a big website with around 100,000 article and around 37,000 image..
I have set the php info as follows:
memory_limit 1G
max_execution_time 10800
max_input_time 18000
post_max_size 1G
upload_max_filesize 2G

No image is larger then 1MB and the above settings was taken from a recommendation provided by the developer from one of the support topics. (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-freezes-and-doesnt-import-all/)
My server has a size of 2TB which is more the enough to receive the data.
the data is being transferred from a serve to another.
PHP v5.6.40 running as FASTCGI application served by Apache (parallel plesk)

Please advise on how to make the script run continuously without hanging in order to migrate all the site.
this is a demo migration to check if its working in order to go for the premium version and transfer all the data including users data.

Thank you

NOTE: the only way to keep it going is to stop and run the import again every time it stops (without showing any logs) every few hunderds articles

I switched to nginx and followed the instructions/seetings mentuoned in “https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-during-import-freeze-and-no-images/” with same results.

The problem may also come from another setting on your server.

If you use Apache:
```
ProcessLifeTime 7200
IPCConnectTimeout 800
IPCCommTimeout 800
```
If you use FastCGI:
```
FcgidIdleTimeout 800
FcgidProcessLifeTime 800
FcgidIOTimeout 800
```
If you use PHP-FPM:
1) In /etc/php-fpm.d/timeout.conf:
request_terminate_timeout = 7200

2) WHM » Apache Configuration » Include Editor » Post VirtualHost Include » All
timeout 7200

3) WHM »Software »MultiPHP Manager
Click Edit PHP-FPM text beside domain
at Process Idle Timeout: 7200

If you use Varnish:
```
first_byte_timeout=600
between_bytes_timeout=600
```
A good practice is to run the import in local on your own computer. It avoids all the server limitations.
Here is the procedure for Windows: 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-local-server/

Thank you for the information! i was able to import them finally without any problems (except for the script stopping every 15000 article give or take which is very acceptable)
