Tiki 8.3 | Tiki Importer - Doesn’t import mediawiki xml file - no error displayed

• Bug

Hi,

i am pretty new to tikiwiki (please point my to any guides if i am missing something here) and currently testing the 8.3 release.
As i do have several mediawiki installations it is a must for me to be able to import data from mediawiki to tiki.

I did export an .xml file via dumpBackup.php from one of my mediawikis which resulted in a 85mb file - which opens without errors in a random selected webbrowser.

As a next step i tried to use the Tiki Importer.
- Choosed source type (mediawiki) & pressed ok & got forwarded to next page
- used the default selections (uncheck, uncheck, 1, option 3) & selected the xml local file -> pressed the 'import' button
- warning id displayed that a script will be started and may take some time & that i should have a backup -> i do select 'OK' here

-> 3 sec later i am back at the start page of the tiki importer.

Problem:
- no error is displayed
- no import is done

question:
- is that function supposed to work?
- could it be related to the size of the xml file? even then i would consider an error.
- can i offer any additional informations?

best regards in advance
fidel

EDIT:

seems to be related with the size of the .xml file.

case 1: small file - around 1 MB -> worked (i do see a progress window)
case 2: big file - around 85 MB -> failed - see above for a detailed description)

Main problem i do see here is that in case 2 the user/admin gets no feedback at all.

There is no solution - nor did i tests with the latest versions as i finished my migration 6 years ago.

I doubt it still makes sense to have that issue open.
