Import problems from MT

Is its parent directory writable by the server?

THAT would be the question you want to work on with your host!

Your reply is not particularly helpful. I do not even know what to ask them!

Believe me, my goal is not to spend countless unpaid hours here to learn that I’m not particularly helpful.

That bit I quoted is directly from the error that you provided and presumably have read.

Maybe Changing_File_Permissions will help.

Thanks for the clarification, as well as your unpaid hours! Believe me, I will gladly pay for somebody to fix this issue at this point.

I spoke with my host, and they (Pair) replies:
“The parent directories for wp-content are all writable, including wp-content.”

The exported file I have from MT is a single .txt file. Large, but a single file.

Any thoughts about this, or is there another way I can try it?

You’ve created the /usr/www/users/jeffkeef/silenceandvoice/wp-content/uploads/2007/08 directory, right?

Now, what are the current permissions on it? (see that link I gave in the last reply).

You might try [temporarily] making it “world writable” just to see if that’ll help.

I created that directory, but my host said that the permissions are such that the directory should be created as needed.

The file I am trying to import is:
https://www.silenceandvoice.com/import.txt

Now, what are the current permissions on it? (see that link I gave in the last reply).

You might try [temporarily] making it “world writable” just to see if that’ll help.

I followed your suggestion and made it completely writable, and in all my posts went! I then changed it back, and it seems to be working fine.

Thank you!
