Can’t Import WP xml from WP to my Own WP Install

  • I have had a blog for a while on the wordpress server. I now have a hosted shared server and have installed wordpress, php, and mySQL there. I want to import my blog posts and comments from the WP server to my hosted server. I exported the file, but when I try to import it I get the following error:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to D:\myaccountname\www\mydomainname_com\blog/wp-content/upLoads/2009/05.

    I’ve read the posts about this issue but I seem to be having a different issue. That directory is there and has write permissions.

    My hosted server is a Win 2k3 server so I am wondering if this is just a global pathing issue (see the forward and back slashes in the path). Can anybody suggest something so I can import my posts? This is getting very frustrating.

    If it’s helpful to know I am getting similar errors with mixed slash paths when trying to install plugins.

    you can’t get a linux server?
    all this would work better since that is what you came from

    Well sure but my hosting account is already set up on Win 2K3 and I have several sites there already. What I’m wondering is why in the world WP wouldn’t handle Apache and Windows servers. Just seems odd and I can’t believe I’m the first person to have this issue.

    Did you ever resolve this or did you have to go to a unix server. I get a similar error, in that it says:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\SWsoft\PEM\CustomerData\webspaces\webspace_00004399\wwwroot\wordpress/wp-content/uploads.

    Can’t I tell it where I want to upload the file to?
