    Recap:
    Originally I installed WP on https://www.illusivelife.com/blog and one I finally had WP running like I wanted I changed the config log and actually moved the files to the main part of my domain –

    Now:
    I am receiving an error message when I try to import my back up files of all my posts which is odd because I was able to import the file before the move.

    I get an error message and I am not sure what it means so I was hoping someone here can help me with this.

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/illusive/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2007/03.

    Please help!
    Thanks!

    Changed the config log? What does that mean?
    And if you imported before the move – why do it again?
    If you want WP in the root all you had to do was this:

    Because once I moved it and moved all my old MT files, it was like a new install.

    I tried doing the above but it would not work. I got a 404 error and I assumed that this was because of the MT files on my server, so I moved it all.

    Is there a way to work around all of this?

    So you are wanting to import MT into WordPress?
    Did you do it from the import link inside of WP admin or what?

    yes is the answer to both questions.

    Is it possible to start over?
    Drop the tables in the db or the db itself. Set up WP where you want it – then do the import.
    I believe you’re having ths problem because the db was populated before the move and now it’s confused. :>)

    I actually considered that, but didn’t know if there would be a way to fix it without doing that.

    I’ll give it a try.

    Thanks!

    oh, before I do this…the WP files are where I need them, but will I need to delete it all, set up the new db and then add the WP files where I want them?

    Just set up the db then and run the install file.
    I think you should probably upgrade to 2.1.2, though, as 2.1.1 has a security flaw.
    If you do that, just overwrite all of the files but what’s in your wp-content folder.

    ugh. Well, I have now done this both ways and I am still getting an error message:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/illusive/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2007/03.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/illusive/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/illusive/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219

    Any more ideas?

    SUCCESS!

    I figured it out. I went in and deleted the upload folder, reset the chmod to 777, and away she went!
