There is an item that I did not think about and that is my mistake. Once you download these files, before you import them (applies to both the dumps) open the text file and do a search for
http://dinki.mine.nu/wp
and replace that link with the siteurl for your WP installation (leave the single quotes intact)
e.g. Right now he files have this line:
INSERT INTO wp_options VALUES (1, 0, ‘siteurl’, ‘Y’, 3, ‘http://dinki.mine.nu/wp’, 30, 8, ‘siteurl is your blog\’s URL: for example, \’http://example.com/wordpress\’ (no trailing slash !)’, 8);
Replace with:
INSERT INTO wp_options VALUES (1, 0, ‘siteurl’, ‘Y’, 3, ‘http://yourwebsite.com/wpfolder’, 30, 8, ‘siteurl is your blog\’s URL: for example, \’http://example.com/wordpress\’ (no trailing slash !)’, 8);
Again, sorry for that oversight, that should fix your issue (you might have to re-import).

Thanks for getting back to me. That little tweak let me in to the admin. I knew I was going on a magic carpet ride somewhere but I didn’t have the time or the brains to work it out. Unfortunately, now I’m in, I keep getting the same Runtime error which prevents me from entering data into a blank field in any of the menu items (Categories, Links, Users etc.) Here it is:
A Runtime error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 50
Error: ‘nulll’ is null or not an object
You’ve got me this far, do you think you can keep me going? I don’t know if you’ll return to this post, so I might post it as a new topic later.
For the benefit of everyone trying to find a solution to this problem, ronco’s issue was solved in this thread:
