I am facing one of the weirdest problem with my websites. I bought 3 different themes from themeforest.com and a shared hosting package from Hostgator.com. After installing the theme I tried to upload the Demo content through .XML files from WordPress importer but after loading for several times it gave 500 Internal Server Error. I contacted HostGator and they me this;
The MySQL queries for the above-mentioned databases are getting killed by the server which is causing the intermittent issue with the site loading.
Please note that, the long_query_time set for the MySQL service is 20 seconds. Since it is a shared server, we can't alter this values for single domain. Alternatively, you can switch to our VPS package, where you can set custom limits for your domain.
I looked for other solution and was told that I should Increase the php limit and php.ini so I even tried that but no luck. After this I thought there has to be a problem so I switched from Hostgator to another hosting provider.
This time the file does upload but it's all messed up. It takes very long time to upload and in the end tells that
failed to import "this file"
failed to import "this file"
I thought maybe it's happening with one specific file but when I checked several different .XML file of other different themes I face this same issue.
In the end I thought maybe I should Switch to VPS after which I will be able to import demo XML file but No luck.
I have no Idea why it's happening to me but it's very very frustrating
