moshu,
thanks for your help. I finally found the culprit, it was GoDaddy who screwed up. All works now, posts and comments are transfered.
Only the post images from blogger don’t show up (broken). They still point to http://photos1.blogger.com/. Any idea what I can do here?
gracias
when i click OK, nothing happens. it sends me back to import-blogger.php
my archives files looks nice, it is where it should be, but nothing happens.
oh, i´m so sad….
karlalopez,
“when i click OK, nothing happens. it sends me back to import-blogger.php… the problem is solved!”
Can you provide some details on how you solved it? I’m having the same problem…
Regards,
Pedro
Also the same problem here using WP2.0, clean install.
Enter Blogger login details, hit enter and wait ~20 seconds before the browser times out. No message given with FF or IE, Opera gives the following:
“Connection closed by remote server
You tried to access the address http://www.domain.com/wordp/wp-admin/admin.php?import=blogger&noheader=true&step=0, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.”
Suggestions?! 🙂
psostre,
I am having the same issues as you (and as most everyone else here at some point or another). karlalopez, can you fill us in?
One thing I notice is that under FTP server in my blogger settings, I can only type in mydomain.com, as opposed to http://ftp.mydomain.com, if I want blogger to republish successfully. I suspect that wordpress’s import-blogger tool reads the ftp name from this, and it it sees mydomain.com instead of http://ftp.mydomain.com, it does not compute.
beyond that, I am at a loss. also, i noticed that my archive files went from being .htmls to .phps, but that only two of my many actual post files converted. were they all supposed to convert? if so, could I do this manually?
My problem sounds very similar to karlalopez’s problem. Have any of you figured out how to fix it yet? I’m about ready to pay someone else to do it for me…….
One note on importing.
I’m using IIS6 on Win2003, so I have the ability to create multiple sites within the root web directory:
InetPub
wwwroot
Site 1
Site 2 (where the blog should be)
Site 3
The Five Minute installation says to place all the files from the zip into the root directory if you want to integrate WP into your site.
So, in this scenario, should the contents of that install zip go into wwwroot or Site 2? In either case, where then would the wordpress_date.php archive files go? Same place as the Wp files or a special file?
I’m wondering this as it might be why the import-blogger is not working correctly at the very end.
The importer on 2.0 actually just randomly connected to Blogger (finally!) and imported my files. I got most of them–75% it says, which frankly at this point is enough to satisfy me!!!!!!
Yeah, me too, just happened.
Weird. I haven’t changed anything since the last time I used that, this time it worked.
You guys can ignore all my import questions.
I had the same problems importing and used the modified script and finally got it working but my remaining problem is when I click on a post or go into archives, the template is not loading and instead it’s the raw blogger – unformatted file.
http://www.loridunkin.com/WP/ loads without a template
http://www.loridunkin.com/WP/index.php loads with template, but when I click on a post, it loads without template
http://www.loridunkin.com/WP/index.html no template
http://www.loridunkin.com/WP/wordpress.php no template, but different than the first 3
http://www.loridunkin.com/WP/atom.xml loads without template, but differently than the others
So I don’t know what else to try – the data is there, but it’s not coming up. I gathered from reading through posts that after importing, a file has to be deleted?
Anyone have ideas? or at least same problem?
