 * Hey,
 * Ive been trying to create my site using wordpress on a server space i bought,
   and ive had a few issues and had to start over again numerous times.
 * I think it came down to a plug in, but wordpress could not see images in the 
   media file, nor would it show them,
 * anyway, i am trying to make a duplicate of my site just incase anything happens
   again, so ive exported my site from within wordpress, but everytime i try to 
   import it onto another installation, all i get is this error message.
 * Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in
   safe mode in /home/sdbphot1/public_html/duplicate1/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-
   importer/wordpress-importer.php on line 91
 * i have tried it on many installations, and from many export files, it then fails
   to import any media from my last site.
 * any ideas why this is happening?
 * thanks,

 * The server’s configuration is stopping the import from running successfully.
