    I've moved my blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org.
    Now I want to import my .com blog to my .org blog, but when I try to import my previously exported file, it says

    "The uploaded file could not be moved to /www/freehoxt.com/*/*/*/ja**eisler/htdocs/wp-content"

    (I replaced some of the letters with *-es just in case. lol

    I look forward to any helpful replies.

    (the new blog is hosted at http://www.freehoxt.com)

    Thanks.

    Make sure you have the right permissions on the wp-content directory that it is writable by the server. It seems like it doesn't have the right "write" permissions ;)

    I've changed the permissions for:

    User, Group & Others (wp-content)

    To:

    Read, Write & Execute. (not: Set UID, Set GID & Sticky)

    New error code: (can't even open my url anymore)

    Warning: require() [function.require]: Unable to access /www/freehoxt.com/j/a/n/jangeisler/htdocs/wp-includes/compat.php in /www/freehoxt.com/j/a/n/jangeisler/htdocs/wp-settings.php on line 117

    I've fixed the problem myself :D

    The 1st attempt to change permissions, I changed the ENTIRE blog.

    Now, I've deleted everything, uploaded again, and changed the options for wp-content ONLY.

    That worked. :)

    It's only importing a portion of my old posts, and even when it says it uploads some of those, they don't show up on my .org site.
