Delete All Contacts

[jchristoff@vsicam.com]

Hello,
I have SugarCE Version 5.5.1 (Build 1202) and when I try to delete all contacts the webserver crashes and the contacts are not all deleted. I can delete many at a time (tested up to 100). Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jordan

Probably you are facing a memory limit issue on php.
Consider updating the value of attribute memory_limit to 256M at php.ini and restart your web server.

Thank you, the memory_limit was set to 256M but the timeout was set to 60 seconds and the delete process was taking longer than that so I changed the time to 300 and now it works perfectly.

Regards,

Now that I upgraded to Beta6 the timelimit in the php.ini seems to get ignored and is always set at 60 seconds, could the upgrade point to a different php.ini somewhere?

Thanks,

Run this in MySQL:

UPDATE contacts SET deleted='1';

That will have the same net effect as Sugar's delete all option - but it won't abuse PHP memory usage.
