   When I try to import posts/settings from my other wordpress-blog (XML file) I get this error:
   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare add_cssclass() (previously declared in /[...]/wp-admin/menu.php:228) in /srv/disk2/[...]/wp-admin/menu.php on line 228
   Does anayone knows what this means/how to solve this?

   I'm getting a very similar error, when I click on the "WordPress" option on Tools->Import:
   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare add_cssclass() (previously declared in ../wp-admin/menu.php:230) in ../wp-admin/menu.php on line 233

   I'm trying to import a Blogger FTP blog to a new install of WordPress.
   I am not running any plug-ins; before I kept just getting a totally blank screen after clicking an import option, so maybe this is a step up?

   Jonathan:
   What version of PHP is the server running? Can you get access to the Apache access/error logs?

   Specifically, it sounds as though you never even get to the stage where you'd be prompted for your Blogger credentials -- true?

   ZaMoose,

   That's right--I can see all the options for Import (Blogger, Blogroll, etc.) but when I click on them I'm just getting a white screen with an error message.

   Earlier, I had been getting just a totally blank screen. Before that, the only other change to the config file I'd made from default was the table_prefix, so I switched that back to "wp_", saved the config file, and tried again.

   Since I was using the FTP Blogger, I was going to try exporting and then using http://blogger2wordpress.appspot.com/ to convert the XML to a WP file, then import as WP. That way I didn't have to bother using the blogspot.com method. However, since I'm not getting anything on either the Blogger or WP import option, I'm not sure what the next step is.

   I can SSH into the server, but only into my own directory; I don't have root access or anything. It's a server run by a friend of mine so I can probably get access to things but it'll take a while to get a response from him.

   Thanks for any help you can provide! I appreciate it. Been using Blogger for 8 years now, so I was reluctant to change.

   Usually when you get a silent die(), it's due to a PHP timeout or exhausting of memory. Can you create a file called phpinfo.php in one of the directories (doesn't matter which one) and place the following php inside of it:

   <?php
   phpinfo();
   ?>

   Copy down the relevant info (PHP version, etc.) and then delete the file after you've gotten it, as it's not a great idea to leave that sort of info lying around. *grin*

   Looks like the fix is in for 2.9 AND trunk:

   You should be good to go.
