 * Success! Also note that apache needs a restart for php to reload all of its config.

 * yum install php-xml
 * import seems to be progressing now and comments are being imported without errors.
   it hasn’t prompted me for author assignment, yet, but I have high hopes.

 * really tired of banging my head against this wall.
 * Fresh install of 3.6
    No other plugins, no themes, pure vanilla 3.6+blogger-importer
   nuked DB and re-ran install.php patched/upgraded php, mysql, apache, etc. switched
   selinux into Permissive mode (run faster so it was definitely interfering with
   something)
 * when I try to import, I notice that the error log is filling up with
    PHP Warning:
   DOMDocument not found, unable to use sanitizer in /path/to/blogroot/wp-includes/
   SimplePie/Sanitize.php on line 252, referer: [http://bloghost.domain/wp-admin/admin.php?import=blogger&token](http://bloghost.domain/wp-admin/admin.php?import=blogger&token)
 * I counted (well, grep|wc) and there is one error line like this in my error log
   for each comment entry. All of the comment metadata, author, timestamp, etc gets
   imported, but the content of the comment is empty
 * I tried importing to wp.com (worked) and exporting to wxr, then using wordpress-
   importer. That simply hangs, appearing to do nothing, but is producing similar
   DOMDocument/sanitize errors.
 * Am I missing some critical thing that SimplePie is expecting to be there?
 * U have looked at a couple of the actual comments by fetching the wp_commentmeta.
   metavalue (i.e. /feeds/….) URL from blogspot and the content block of the comment
   is pretty vanilla (specified as type html, but containing straight text with 
   a couple of amper-2-letter special character sequences.

 * Is there a good/easy way to debug the inputs and outputs from SimplePie? I’ve
   sampled some of the direct URLs to the comments from the metadata inside the 
   database and I can fetch them with no difficulty, identify the content block,
   which is formatted as html whether or not it actually contains any html. I do
   not see anything unusual inside the content that strikes me as something that
   would be fikltered out by any of the sanitizers, either.
 * I upgraded to 3.5.2, all plugins up to date (and inactive aside from blogger-
   importer). blogger-importer is the one from the 4010 ticket. Is there an even
   newer version I should be using?
 * A lot of the images are missing from the blogger site. We purged quite a bit,
   if not all, of the images when the getty crackdown began. We want to in-house
   the site before we go through the effort of updating the image links.
 * I have tried adjusting some of the settings in blogger-importer.php to see if
   I could coax it into skipping some things or behaving a bit better (increasing
   MAX_EXECUTION_TIME, disabling IMPORT_IMG, increasing REMOTE_TIMEOUT). Disabling
   image import speeds things up quite a bit, but it never completes the LINKS step
   to ask me about setting the author ID, and comments remain empty. In-between 
   attempts I will leave the posts alone, but move-to-trash/empty-trash on all the
   comments and stop/start mysql and apache to make sure that there is nothing remaining
   in cache.

 * I have switched to trying the beta rel;ease you’ve pointed folks to in the other
   threads and am seeing better results. The import seems to stall out late in the“
   Images” box, but I have been able to look at the raw data via phpMyAdmin. The
   post.post_content is now being filled in, but conmmenbts.commentcontent remains
   empty Whenever I try to completely restart the import, it only allows me to “
   Continue”.
