[Koha] Staging of import stalls

[Roche III, Edward]

how would you get the zebra server running as well as the daemans? I originally tries to use zebra but it was giving me issues so I decide to go the nozebra route.

Thanks

ED,
Do try Doug's suggestion.
I have also faced this problem. removing the problem record solves the 
stall.
Also I have staged and imported more than 87000 records in one go, so 
the batch process does work well.
 In case you are not using zebra, one  trick  i observed was to have the 
zebra  server and queue daemons running during the import and put 
nozebra to off even if you are not using zebra. this speeds up the 
staging and import by orders of magnitude. after the import is over you 
can run the rebuild_nozebra.pl to rebuild the index after turning on 
nozebra setting. This little trick resulted in hours of time saving.

Try again and see if you get further.  It is either that record, or the last one that actually worked, I can't remember exactly which.
