 * I have installed a new server and moving the website to a new location. Upon 
   downloading WordPress Move and activating it, i receive the following error.
 * **Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit due to system policy in /customers/
   8/f/d/nrdstudios.com/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/wordpress-move.
   php on line 44**
 * I have had a look around on the net for issues like this, i asked my host (one.
   com) to make sure that php extensions were enabled. Which they are.
 * Any ideas people?

 * Looks like there’s an issue with your hosts’ server configuration.

 * You can comment out that line by putting `//` to the beginning of the line. It
   is mostly for large installations.

 * PHP Sockets must be enabled for this to work, and one.com have this open, but
   don’t allow me to change the time out or limit policy. which is retarded.
 * Any ideas people? I have tried importing the SQL file WordPress Move creates 
   to PHPMyAdmin. But not working.

 * Nope. I commented out both lines, one and the other separately also, and still
   nothing. it returns a fatal error with no explanation.
 * Any other ideas, i have bunch of data and text etc in the file, and manually 
   remembering it and inputing it will be such a massive pain.
 * One.com will not allow the file to modify the limit for the time.

 * If you wish to use the database backup created by WordPress Move with other scripts
   such as phpMyAdmin, you need to Convert it using the Backup Manager. Conversion
   is quite simple: Select the database backup file(s), select Convert option from
   the drop down list and click the Apply button next to it. After that, you can
   navigate to the `/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/converted/` directory
   to grab the converted database backup file(s) or you can scroll down to where
   Converted Database Backups are listed on Backup Manager and download each database
   backup by clicking on its name.

 * I can not do that, since the plugin will not even start for me on the server.
   Could you convert this for me and mail it to me if its possible?
