hi,  
  
I have csv file with highly complex data - see example of 3 rows - [https://www.screencast.com/t/DmmNjh4fXV7](https://www.screencast.com/t/DmmNjh4fXV7) .  
  
I want to import these contacts to Mautic (server installation).  
  
What should I put here? - [https://www.screencast.com/t/dIyQQPX2mn](https://www.screencast.com/t/dIyQQPX2mn) - in order to extract just emails and names and import 10,000 contacts that we gathered, in this csv file?  
  
I tried different combo’s and after clicking Upload I see: “500 Internal Server Error”  
  
in hostwinds - our server suplier - they say all is ok from their side.  
  
Please help.
