   I just had my WP 2.0.5 installed by the friendly and great install team. I was surprised to find that the documentation that I had been following to save my MT blog for importing was outdated. The 'import.txt' file that i saved now needs to be imported as 'mt.cgi' apparently, so I just renamed it and am hoping for the best. When I use the new import process though, it tries and then gives me the following error. The install is as described:

   "WordPress files actually reside in folder: /httpdocs/wordpress/

   Even though the actual WordPress files reside in a sub-directory, an
   index.php file was put in your webroot, and the Options->General admin page
   Blog address (URI) was changed so that WordPress acts as your main page."

   Here's the error that I got from the import script after it appeared to be working on my 2mb 'mt.cgi' file.

   "Import Movable Type and Typepad

   Sorry, there has been an error.

   Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/sintwitties.com/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"

   I just wanted to add that, although I am able to post, and have just approved comments (yay!), when I tried to upload a picture to my server for inclusion in a post, I got a similar message to the one quoted above. It doesn't seem to be able to write certain things to my server via that vhosts path.

   sigh...but thanks again install team!
