Moving from wp.com to self hosted errors?

    I am moving my blog adventuresoflukeandlily.wordpress.com to adventuresoflukeandlily.com.

    I am using the moving tutorial at: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

    I am stuck at step 4: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/5/

    It just says error, file has no content. I have looked at the xml file and it seems fine, there are about 250 posts on the site.

    My layman’s thought it that it has something to do with the “select user” settings on the WP import plugin. The tutorial does not have specifics about this part of the process.

    I have admin at both sites, at the first it is userL silsurf1 and at the new site it is user: silsurf. I tried both with the same resulting error.

    I would love any guidance on how to continue the import process.
    Thanks very much

    Henry

    I started a new thread on the plugin support page, hope I can get through this!!

    My server was not collecting errors, I just turned it on, so I will gather error info soon.

    I tried Safari, same problem, slightly different wording in the error page

    Here is the error log. It seems to stop when it encounters:

    File does not exist: /home/8839/domains/interactivehank.com/html/docs/hanknow/docs

    Not sure why it is even attempting to access that directory as neither blog is situated there?

    all good!

    It seems the issue was that link. I deleted that one line from the xml file adn it went through, not sure why and at this point could care less!!

    Thanks so much for your time and thoughts, the error log was the key!!
