Timing out when synchronising site changes

Forum › Bug Report

    Hi,

    If I go to synchronise my site after adding new pages, if there are more than about 12 changes to update, publii will always get stuck after the first 5 or 6. Then nothing happens.

    I have to then update my site manually using my FTP client and then re-sych Publi, where it will say only one change to make and sucessfully synchronise.

    I’m using 0.372 on Mac OS and I upload to an Ionos server.

    Thanks,

    Alastair

    Hi,

    Please check Tools -> Log viewer – especially the files with “deployment” phrase in the name – maybe you will find some advice what happens.

    Does this help – From Deployment Process Log when I tried to synch and it timed out on the 1st entry.

    Please try to upgrade to v.0.37.3 as it contains the following fix:

    • Fixed SFTP deployment issue when some directories to upload exists on the server

    Maybe it will solve your issue with the SFTP deployment.

    And also please make sure that your SFTP user have write permissions on your server (you can check it with “Test connection” on the server settings page).

    Hi Tomasz,

    Yes the Test Connection does show success. What is strange is that often when I sync, it will render and then start updating pages, get about 10 or so done and then it just hangs.

    If I use a separate FTP program to upload the rendered files and then go back to Publii and re-sync, it will work correctly.

    I wonder if it is something to do with the volume of files needing changes, if there is a large number it gets stuck , but if there are only say 4 updates, it works perfectly.

    Thanks,

    Alastair

    @alastair – did you checked the newest version of Publii or you still test it on v.0.37.2?

    It’s weird – I cannot reproduce such issue on my VPS. I will update the sftp library in the upcoming Publii version (which will be released most probably in the next week) – maybe it will help with your issue. Currently the only way which I see for your case is using manual deploy method.

    Thanks Tomasz, it’s frustrating but I understand difficult to pinpoint. If I get any more info that might help I’ll update here.
