osm2pgrouting stuck (showing classes table created) when importing an osm file

Question

I am trying to import an osm file using osm2pgrouting. while following the pgrouting workshop. (file is 700mb~)

im running ubuntu 12.04 on m1.large on amazon.

the same file was successfully upload to postgres with osm2pgsql.

i am using the following command:

osm2pgrouting -file "/home/ubuntu/israelmap/israel_and_palestine.osm"  -conf "/usr/share/osm2pgrouting/mapconfig.xml" -dbname routing -user postgres -clean

the proccess starts ok, but it the way table will never have any data in it:
