Backstory:
Suddenly, my MySQL database for Magento 2 has failed and been corrupted (This is a development installation and used to enter products data) and I don't have backup of the database except a .csv
file that I exported from the admin dashboards few days before the disaster hit.
Now I'm left with only this product export of this data and I don't have any other record of my 800+ products.
What I did:
I installed a new Server with a fresh install of Magento 2 downloaded directly from the official website and as soon as everything was working, I took an image and a snapshot of the server.
Now everytime I try to import the products and click on 'check data' it just hang for hours with Please Wait...
message
Then I redo this process after restoring the server to the screenshot with the same result.
Technical Details:
PHP 7.1
Apache 2
MySQL 5.7
Magento 2.2.4
