you should do that:
put the import script in /home/toopicky/public_html/wp/wp-admin/
you can ask your host to upgrade their installation script, tell them about the error or you can install a fresh copy of WP 1.2.1
I finally got back to the upgrade and a fresh install was done with the help of cpanel and fantastico… now I get this error:
———————-
First we’re going to add excerpt, post, and password functionality…
Database error: [Duplicate column name ‘post_excerpt’]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_excerpt text NOT NULL;
Database error: [Duplicate column name ‘post_status’]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD post_status ENUM(‘publish’,’draft’,’private’) NOT NULL, ADD comment_status ENUM(‘open’,’closed’) NOT NULL, ADD ping_status ENUM(‘open’,’closed’) NOT NULL, ADD post_password varchar(20) NOT NULL;
That went well! Now let’s clean up the b2 database structure a bit…
Database error: [Can’t DROP ‘ID’. Check that column/key exists]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts DROP INDEX ID
One down, two to go…
Database error: [Table ‘toopicky_wrdp1.wp_settings’ doesn’t exist]
ALTER TABLE wp_settings DROP INDEX ID
So far so good.
Database error: [Can’t DROP ‘post_karma’. Check that column/key exists]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts DROP post_karma
Almost there…
Database error: [Can’t DROP ‘ID’. Check that column/key exists]
ALTER TABLE wp_users DROP INDEX ID
Welcome to the family. Have fun!

And nothing was imported…. urgh.. this bites.
hi all, i have made script for converting b2 to WordPress (posts, categories, comments). Many of you here were having problems with original script, which wasnt working (and no respond from the creators of the WordPress of course), so this should solve your problem. You can download it at http://www.czhannes.com/b2_wordpress_import.rar . Upload it to folder /wp-admin/ on your server, open in browser and read the instructions…
