Bulk Export Tool never completes export of All Products

[grant_sullivan]

I am using version 1.9.4.1.  I have TradeGecko linked with my Magento site for my product listings for which I have 8,245 products.  I have tried three different ways to export all of my products from Magento admin and all have failed to complete.  I have also tried 3 different browsers; Safari, Chrome and Firefox to no luck.  

Steps used so far:

Method 1
System>Import/Export>Export and under Export Settings select the drop down for Products and CSV for Export File Format. I then go to the bottom and click Continue and it sends me over to a white screen that never loads the dialog it is suppose to. Just a blank white screen.

Method 2
System>Import/Export>Dataflow-Profiles then click on Edit for Export All Products and then click on Run Profile and this starts to work but never completes.

Method 3
System>Import/Export>Dataflow-Profiles and click Add New Profile.  

Listed below is what I have filled in
Profile Information
Nameroductexportsample
Entity type: Products
Direction: Export
Store: Default

File Information
Data transfer: Local/Remote Server
Type: Local Server
File name: productexportsample.csv
Path: var/export

Type: CSV / Tab Separated
Value Delimiter: ,
Enclose Values In: "
Original Magento attribute names in first row: Yes
Export: All fields

Export Filters ( I left it the default)

Then I click Run Profile and click on Run Profile in Popup.

The popup comes and it takes about 30 seconds for the dialogue to start and listed below is all I get after a couple of hours.  It never goes past those two sentences, Starting and Warning.  

Starting profile execution, please wait...
Warning: Please do not close the window during importing/exporting data

Hi @grant_sullivan,

It may be due to execution time and memory limit.

I will suggest to increase the max_executuon_time and memory_limit on the server.

Or try below lines in the index.php of magento root directory to bypass the limit.

ini_set("memory_limit",-1);
ini_set("max_execution_time",-1);

I hope it will help you!

Thanks a lot.  That worked by inserting the script into the index.php.  Took some time but finally finished executing.

Starting profile execution, please wait...
