I cannot believe this. According to my webhost they did not do a thing and yet exact same imports that failed yesterday work today. OK, MAYBE another engineer fixed something on their server and the person servicing me was not aware of it. But not the error is gone away. I wish I could say what fixed it for future readers, but I can’t. Here is what Hostcentric said:
“We did not change any code in your account. According to the error message given below it seems to be issue with the incorrect path.
Warning: gzopen(\\frigga\home\users\web\b356\hoc.vs-cc1987\blog/wp-content/uploads/\\frigga\home\users\web\b356\hoc.vs-cc1987\blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wordpress2009-01-26xml2.import) [function.gzopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \\frigga\home\users\web\b356\hoc.vs-cc1987\blog\wp-admin\import\wordpress.php on line 73
It looks like you are changed the path which fixed the issue.”
