upload from server doesn't complete

This is most likely due to a timeout either by apache or Php.

Can you try setting php_script_limit to 1 in the advanced options?

In general, this problem is fully fixed in https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-Laravel (soon-to-be-v4).

Where can I find the advanced options? I dont see it on the site.

[kamil4]

Go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, click More. You'll see all the settings listed. Change the value of php_script_limit from 0 to 1 and save the settings.

I got this issue resolved by increasing the timeout in the php.ini.

the issue now is that since there are so many pictures, the pictures never load on the site. So the site initially loads with a total of 12k + pictures in the unsorted album. When I click on the album the site freezes and never returns any pictures. How can I fix this?

[kamil4]

I don't have experience with 12k+ albums in Lychee v3 but I have one such album in Lychee-Laravel (soon-to-be v4) and, as the two versions currently share the same front end code, here's my advice:

Don't do it 😄

At least the v4 server can handle such albums relatively OK, but the front end, and actually by the look of it the web browser itself, is really struggling. There've been proposals to introduce pagination or infinite scroll to combat that, but no code so far. The only improvement we did implement to make this less painful is the lazy loading of photos (so the browser doesn't download them until they are visible). Still, for me a 13k+ album does load, but it takes some 25 seconds for the first photos to render (on a dual-core i7 CPU).

My advice is to keep albums to around 1000 photos. That number seems to be handled much better.

Importing from server creates albums for folders, so sorting before you import is an option too.

ok I can easily split this into 1000 pictures per directory. This will create about about 1200 directories. How can I import them automatically? Is there a backend script or something to import all these directories?

12, surely?

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you just upload the parent. i.e. tell it to import from uploads/import and have e.g. uploads/import/a, uploads/import/b etc as subdirectories.

Fixed?

Time to close.
