greymatter archives 2 wp

I ran gm-2-wp.php a <i>long</i> time ago when it was gm-2-b2.php so I have a lack of experience here, but here goes my guess: Check your b2config.php to make sure that the database name is correct for the database that you are going to be placing the posts into. The error message suggests (to me) that the script can’t find the WP database as opposed to the Greymatter database. Good luck!

I’ll check, but Greymatter didn’t have a database. (duuuuh… This may be the problem? *G*)
Honest, I did think that, but I was hoping that, perhaps, since Greymatter is CGI and has an “archive folder”, that was fine. But if Greymatter was suppose to have a database for it, well, it never did, so I guess she wouldn’t be able to import the archived post after all?

adding Julian’s reply,
Recall from the file gm-2-b2.php itself, that error message occur during connection failure to mysql database .
So, there must be something improper on your database config at b2config.php
Anyway, I couldn’t find file gm-2-b2.php in wp packages. Is it somewhere else?

I am currently having exactly the same problem as the first poster here. My databases are set up correctly and are correct in b2config.
Since gm-2-b2 seems to be no longer packaged with the wordpress download I grabbed the latest one I could find in CVS. I did have to make one change, near the top it asks for wp-config.php which doesn’t exist in the rest of the 0.7.1.1 release I’ve installed, so I changed it to say b2config.php (which is the file I have). I don’t know if this will make any difference.
I also tried the old gm-2-b2.php files from my previous b2 install, but this time got the error messages:
Warning: main(/b2-include/b2functions.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/shelley/public_html/delwyn/blah/gm-2-b2.php on line 8
Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required ‘/b2-include/b2functions.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/shelley/public_html/delwyn/blah/gm-2-b2.php on line 8
I’ve already previously tried installing b2 0.6.1, importing the gm files (successfully) then upgrading to wordpress 0.7.1.1, but the files became garbled somehow in the b2-2-wp conversion so I deleted everything and started again.
I’d love to convert that old GM blog and start using the new WordPress goodness ??

I’d love to do this, as well, but there seems to be little, if any support around here… Even a simple “it can’t be done” would be better than nothing!

The GM converter is relatively old, and none of the current developers had any hand in its development. If someone is willing to donate their files for testing I’d give it a look.

Allusion: I’ll be more than happy to give you 990 GM files. ??

Offer still stands. ??
