I do plan on hosting at godaddy, I just have to wait for some “disposable income.” I mean, it’s not much for what I need, couple bucks a month.

And my IP already shows up in the URL from the redirct, so I’ll go ahead and try that.

Thanks for the response!

The irony is, I’m unable to change the URI to the IP, it gives me a “send referral” error. Funny huh?

I’m terribly frustrated, I’ve read all the articles on “sending referrals” and I still can’t get it working. I can’t make any changes to my site save for writing new posts.

Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.

It’s set to 2 in firefox, then set to 1, then back to 2. The I try in IE with it listed in trusted sites. I don’t have Norton even installed. I’m really close to hosting this elsewhere so the IP redirect isn’t screwing it all up, but surely there’s help to be had, yes?

More info. Sorry to keep bumping this, but aside from hosting the site elsewhere I haven’t found anything pertaining to this issue (surely I’m not the only one am I?)

Anyhoo, I’ve also found that even though I have the send referrals set to 2, each time I try to make an administrative change I’m prompted that it’s not set. I found this because I’ve lost my WYSIWYG editor. Knowing I have a few plugins that could affect that, I went to disable them to trouble shoot. It wouldn’t let me (send ref.)

I also notice the page on the editor never fully loads so I checked my error console and saw a bunch of exceptions and this error:

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method Location.toString

So, basically I’m at the point where I can make new posts and edit the php (stylesheets, index, sidebar, etc), but I can’t edit pages as the editor won’t load and the page won’t save and I’ve lost some admin abilities (link/user management) until I can get the send referral fixed.

I’m pretty sure it all ties back to the DNS resolving to a port 80 redirect that resolves to the IP. I think the PHP is looking for the domain name and having it as the IP messes it up. But if I mask it, the style sheet isn’t active.

I have to be the only one running my own server with no-ip with a port 80 redirect and WP 2.0 on IIS 6, don’t I…

*sigh*

Bit of additional info. No-ip.com has a Mask URL option so if you have to redirect port 80, it’ll mask it to the site DNS name. Problem is, my style sheets don’t work if I do that. Doesn’t fix the comments either.

I found an ealier post about someone with the same problem, but it was from a year ago and so far I haven’t heard from direct contact with them.

Yeah, me too, just happened.

Weird. I haven’t changed anything since the last time I used that, this time it worked.

You guys can ignore all my import questions.

If you find any info on this, please let me know.

One note on importing.

I’m using IIS6 on Win2003, so I have the ability to create multiple sites within the root web directory:

InetPub
wwwroot
Site 1
Site 2 (where the blog should be)
Site 3

The Five Minute installation says to place all the files from the zip into the root directory if you want to integrate WP into your site.

So, in this scenario, should the contents of that install zip go into wwwroot or Site 2? In either case, where then would the wordpress_date.php archive files go? Same place as the Wp files or a special file?

I’m wondering this as it might be why the import-blogger is not working correctly at the very end.

I get that too, using IIS6. I’ve also associated the web extension with the php_curl.dll.

I actually have no idea what’s causing the error to pop up, but I too am having issues importing blogger to wordpress (last step after the archive upload.)

For real? Man, that would have been nice to know. Did I miss that step somewhere?

Can I delete the two posts I’ve made and then run the import-blogger.php script?

FYI, FTPed to blog*spot with the alternate template.php instructions, then stored all the files in the blog directory, and ran the script and “w00t” it did nothing.

still working on it.

I’m with you guys. I’m to the point I’m thinking of grabbing all my old entries manually and copy ‘n’ pasting them, then backdating, it’s that bad.

I’m actually running my own server, but I can FTP fine from a command line.

If anyone has further tips on ensuring proper FTP setup on IIS6 AND Blogger Republish, I’d love to hear it.

I’ll be going through these steps as well DNY, thanks.

Hmm, I’ve got that line uncommented, saved in C:\PHP and C:\Windows\system32 but I can’t find that bit enabled on the page.

I’ll keep working on it.

What if you’re running your own Win2003/IIS server? I ran through all the preinstallation.

Another (off topic question,) not knowing a lot of MySQL, when I’m at the prompt (mysql>) and I enter all the create database commands, shouldn’t I get something saying it’s done? It either goes back to prompt or gives me a syntax message.

(noob)

Or would it just be easier to migrate the two sites I have on D:\ over to C:\InetPup\wwwroot then do the install?
