I have been trying to import a large file through Wordpress and no matter how high I change the settings below in my php.ini file (tried both PHP v5.3 or 5.4) the process appears to time out after about 4-5 minutes.
I’ve received conflicting information on max_execution_size. Some at Dreamhost have said you can set it as high as you’d like through PHP while others have said Dreamhost limits this to 4 minutes or something similar. It seems like the latter is true, but no one will confirm.
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size
max_execution_time
max_input_time
